This bill would update Kentucky's campaign finance laws to define what counts as an executive committee of a political party and to clarify that official party committees, including those at the state and county level, are allowed to endorse, support, oppose, or contribute money to candidates running in nonpartisan races. It sets clearer rules for how political parties can participate in elections where candidates do not appear on a party ticket. Who it may affect: political party organizations, candidates running in nonpartisan local elections, and local governments overseeing those elections.
