Discussion of amendments to a campaign finance bill (reported as Senate Bill 495) that would raise the individual contribution reporting threshold from $50 to $200 for reporting purposes; ethics administrator David Bordelon and committee members reviewed administrative impacts, recordkeeping (including QR-code and raffle examples), penalties for late or inaccurate filings, and the need for a clear effective date to update clerk forms. Several lawmakers pressed about disclosure gaps and enforcement; motion to report SB 495 favorable carried by unanimous voice vote and the bill was reported out.
