Texas HB3592 amends the Election Code to restrict political contributions by out-of-state contributors.

The bill sets limits on the aggregate amount of out-of-state contributions for different types of elections: $5,000 for statewide offices, $2,500 for district offices, and $1,000 for county offices. Violators must return the contributions and face civil penalties up to three times the amount of the violation.
