Amend campaign finance law to clarify mass mailing rules and remove criminal penalties
In Plain English
Richmond's current campaign finance law has unclear rules about what information must appear on political mailers and which groups must follow them. The changes specify exactly what candidate and ballot measure mailers must include and which political committees have these requirements. If approved, violations become civil matters instead of criminal offenses.
