Kansas campaigns would send small-donor lists to state officials

Campaign treasurers would keep records of small donors’ names and addresses and send that information to the Kansas public disclosure commission. This covers donors giving $50 or less in total, goods worth $100 or less, or free personal services worth $100 or less under the campaign reporting rules. The names and addresses would stay out of reports filed with the secretary of state or county election officers and reports required to be public. If enacted, the rules would take effect upon publication in the statute book, the state's official law book. The privacy protection would expire July 1, 2031, unless lawmakers review and renew it.
