The Morris bill, born from a senate probe of Isaac Stephenson's campaign, is referred to a special session. It proposes creating sections 94-1 to 94-24 on corrupt practices at primaries and elections with penalties, reflecting intent to curb future scandals.
The act creates 24 sections governing campaign money use. It limits spending to defined purposes such as hall rentals, clerical help, printing and distribution, paid ads, and the candidate’s travel expenses. It requires weekly, detailed reporting by candidates and campaign managers, with specific filing requirements and public disclosure.
Section 94 details penalties and limits on contributions and expenditures for political campaigns. It bans large sums, requires disclosures, restricts nonresident funds, sets post primary spending rules, and mandates publication labels for paid political ads. Penalties include felonies and imprisonment.
