Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.
Political committees can spend more
A committee for political action (PAC) can use money in its separate campaign account for more purposes. It can give to candidates (within existing limits), legal defense funds, nonprofits, other PACs, recall committees, and political parties, and make independent spending. These uses apply only to money held in the PAC’s separate campaign finance account.
Deadlines and reuse of campaign money
Candidates have clear rules for leftover campaign money. You can return it to donors, use it in your next run, donate to a nonprofit or a government fund, pay campaign debts, or cover legal costs tied to campaigning or serving (with reporting). If you withdraw or are removed, you must dispose of the balance by the 15th day of the second month after the election. If you lose and do not file or appear on a ballot within 4 years, you must dispose of remaining funds by the 15th day of the next month. Former public officers must dispose within 15 days after four years from leaving office, and anyone holding such funds on Oct 1, 2025 has until Oct 1, 2029.
Nonprofits, unions, companies must report election spending
Nonprofits, labor unions, and Nevada‑filed companies are not treated as political committees. But if they spend over $1,000 to influence an election or ballot question, they must file electronic reports with the Secretary of State. Reports itemize each payment to a single recipient over $1,000, including out‑of‑state work used in Nevada. Filings follow the standard schedule: Jan 15 and quarterly (Apr 15, Jul 15, Oct 15, and the Jan 15 after the election year), plus special and recall election windows four days before early voting, four days before the election, and 30 days after.
