Relative to defined coordinated expenditures.

HB175 is a bill that aims to regulate and define coordinated expenditures, which are spending activities by groups that coordinate with candidates or political parties. This bill seeks to bring clarity to how such expenditures are managed and reported, ensuring transparency and accountability in political spending.

The bill would primarily affect political candidates, parties, and campaign finance watchdog groups by setting new guidelines on how coordinated expenditures are handled. This could potentially impact the way campaigns are funded and managed, with implications for transparency and compliance with campaign finance laws.

As of January 6, 2025, the bill was introduced and referred to the Election Law committee. It has since been reported by the committee as "inexpedient to legislate," which means the committee did not recommend it for further action. However, there was a minority report suggesting it should pass with amendments. The House adopted a motion to not legislate on this matter on March 26, 2025, effectively stopping the bill's progress for now.
