Rhode Island S3111 amends campaign finance reporting requirements and fines for late filings.

Rhode Island S3111 modifies the allocation of fines for failure to file campaign finance reports with the board of elections. It specifies that fines for unfiled reports should be assessed against the candidate if the report is their responsibility, or against the chairperson of the political action committee or political party committee if the report is their responsibility. The bill caps fines at $1,000 per unfiled report and allows the board of elections to waive fines for good cause.
