Urges the Hawaii Campaign Spending Commission to enhance compliance with state campaign finance laws.

The bill urges the Hawaii Campaign Spending Commission to take several actions to ensure candidate committees comply with state campaign finance laws. It recommends the Commission adopt rules defining what constitutes a substantially defective or deficient report, provide more frequent in-person training sessions, and conduct automatic audits of candidate committees that expend more than $500,000 during any election period. The bill also suggests subsidizing the costs of independent audits for candidate committees and taking other necessary actions to comply with campaign spending laws.
