Digest
HB 1993 seeks to impose restrictions on political contributions by individuals appointed to public office by the governor. The bill establishes a contribution cap of $2,500 within the year prior to appointment and during the appointee’s tenure. It mandates appointees to sign attestations confirming compliance with the contribution limits and prohibits appointed individuals from hiring lobbyists to advocate on matters affecting their state agency. Violations would result in civil penalties or criminal offenses.
