SB255

Hawaii SB255 amends campaign contribution limits and requires excess contributions to be returned or escheated.

Hawaii SB255 amends Section 11-364 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes to modify the handling of excess campaign contributions. Any candidate, committee, or noncandidate committee that exceeds contribution limits must return the excess to the contributor within thirty days. If the excess is not returned within this period, it will be escheated to the Hawaii election campaign fund. The bill specifies different timelines for returning excess contributions based on the type of contribution limit exceeded.
