Maryland SB65 modifies election law to clarify rules for exploratory committees, including their establishment, permissible activities, and fund.

Maryland SB65 amends election law to define exploratory committees as entities established by potential candidates to assess their viability for public office. The bill specifies that these committees are not subject to contribution limits. It outlines permissible activities, such as conducting surveys and direct mailings, and mandates that any equipment purchases by resulting authorized candidate campaign committees must be at fair market value.
