Tpdf Text

Allows Maine Clean Election Act candidates to use funds for caregiving services for dependents.

This bill amends the Maine Clean Election Act to allow candidates to use Maine Clean Election Fund funds for paid caregiving services for themselves or their spouse or domestic partner. The need for these services must be directly connected to the candidate's campaign activities and would not exist without the campaign. The funds can only be used for campaign-related purposes, including caregiving services.
