Hawaii HB1190 amends campaign finance laws to specify permissible uses of campaign funds and the handling of unreturned funds.
Hawaii HB1190 modifies campaign finance regulations by detailing permissible uses of campaign funds, including for personal use, donations, and scholarships, while requiring reimbursement for personal use unless negligible. It mandates the return of residual funds to contributors if candidates fail to file nomination papers or withdraw from an election. Unreturned funds escheat to a designated subaccount within the Hawaii election campaign fund. The bill also establishes a campaign funds escheatment subaccount and outlines the process for returning escheated funds to contributors.
