Committee on Elections members say they reached agreement to amend House Bill 2054's donation limits

Committee member 1, a member of the Committee on Elections, said the panel had reached an agreement on revisions to House Bill 2054 and planned to forward the measure after securing a required signature.

"Believe we've got an agreement on House Bill 2054?" Committee member 1 asked during the discussion.

Committee member 2, a member of the Committee on Elections, replied: "Yes, we do. We just changed those limits, still adjusted for inflation, and we fixed the cash donation limits, and I think we're in good shape." The transcript does not specify numerical values for the limits.

The agreement described in the meeting centers on two technical changes: (1) contribution limits that will continue to be adjusted for inflation and (2) clarified or "fixed" cash donation limits. Committee members did not record a formal roll-call vote on the changes during the exchange captured in the transcript. Instead, they said they would obtain the signature of a ranking minority member and then forward the bill to the other side for further consideration.

Participants noted a committee member who was not present during the exchange; staff or members discussed locating that member later and potentially reconvening to secure the needed signature. No motion text, mover, seconder, or vote tally was recorded in the transcript provided.

The discussion occurred during Committee on Elections business and focused narrowly on technical edits to the bill; the transcript does not record debate over policy merits, specific dollar amounts, effective dates, or a formal committee action. The committee indicated next steps were procedural: obtain the ranking minority member's signature and transmit the amended bill for further consideration.
