FILING CAPTION: Outlining allowed sources of moneys to the Campaign Finance Education Fund.
RULE SUMMARY: This rule describes the sources of funding for the Campaign Finance Education Fund required by HB 4024 (2024). While the law allowed funds from any source, this rule narrows the allowed sources to reduce potential conflicts of interest and to reduce security concerns.
RULE TEXT: The proposed text of OAR 165-012-0810 can be found at this link.
NEED FOR RULE: This rule is needed to specify that moneys deposited into the Campaign Finance Education Fund created by HB 4024 (2024) may only come from allowed sources. Without these source limitations, a perception could exist that the Elections Division accepts moneys from sources not otherwise allowed to engage in certain aspects of the field.
DOCUMENTS RELIED UPON: HB 4024 (2024) available online at oregonlegislature.gov or from the Elections Division.
