Currently, each contribution of money exceeding $50 must be made by check or
other negotiable instrument or evidenced by an itemized credit card receipt bearing
on the face the name of the remitter. Contributions may be collected by an
intermediary and transferred to a recipient at the same time (a practice referred to
as "bundling"). The recipient must report the amount of each contribution and the
date on which the contribution is received by the recipient. If the contributor is
subject to a registration requirement, the contributor must also report this
information. If the contributor determines the amount of the contribution and the
recipient, the contribution is considered to be made by the contributor; if the
intermediary determines the amount of the contribution or the recipient, the
contribution is considered to be made by the intermediary.
This bill requires each contribution made by means of a check or other
negotiable instrument that is transferred from the contributor to the recipient by
another person, together with one or more additional contributions made by
negotiable instruments, to show on the face of the instrument the date that the
contribution is made, the amount of the contribution and the name of the intended
recipient. Under the bill, this information must be entered by the contributor at the
time that the instrument is transferred. The bill prohibits any person from entering
or changing a date that such a contribution is made so as to indicate a date other than
the date of that transfer.
Conduit contribution procedure
Currently, if an individual or organization receives a political contribution
consisting of money and transfers the contribution to another individual or
organization without exercising discretion as to the amount to be transferred and the
individual to whom or the organization to which the transfer is to be made, the
contribution is considered to be made by the original contributor for purposes of
reporting by the ultimate recipient. The contribution is also treated as an individual
contribution for purposes of determining contribution limitations and qualifying
contributions for public grants. The individual or organization making the transfer
is called a "conduit" under the law. A conduit must identify itself to the ultimate
recipient as a conduit and provide to that recipient the information about the
contribution which is necessary for the recipient to file its campaign finance reports.
This bill requires each person who transfers a contribution of money to a
conduit to make a written direction, on a form prescribed by the elections board,
specifying clearly the name of the intended recipient, the amount of the contribution
and the date on which the contribution is made. Each item of information on the form
must be entered by the contributor. A conduit receiving a form must retain the form
with its records for three years after the date of the election in connection with which
the contribution identified on the form is made. The bill prohibits any person from
entering or changing a date that a contribution is made on such a form so as to
indicate a date that a contribution is made other than the actual date.
Currently, the recipient of a contribution of money must deposit the
contribution in the recipient's campaign depository account no later than five
business days after receipt of the contribution. A conduit who or which deposits a
contribution of money is considered to receive and accept the contribution. A
contribution must be reported by the recipient as received and accepted on the date
received unless it is returned to the contributor or donated within 15 days of receipt.
This bill provides that each conduit who or which receives a contribution of
money must transfer the contribution to the recipient specified by the contributor
within five days of the date on which the contribution is received by the conduit.
Under the bill, the contribution must be deposited no later than the time it is
transferred.
Transfer of campaign surpluses for use in campaigns for different offices
Currently, a candidate, personal campaign committee of a candidate, former
candidate or former personal campaign committee may make a contribution or
disbursement for any political purpose not prohibited by law, and specifically may
transfer money or property to another candidate or personal campaign committee,
subject to applicable contribution limitations. If a candidate for one office becomes
a candidate for another office, that candidate or his or her personal campaign
committee may use money or property received on his or her behalf when the
candidate was a candidate for the first office, without limitation. In addition, if the
personal campaign committee of a former candidate files an oath affirming its
independence from any candidate, the committee may make disbursements in an
unlimited amount to advocate the election or defeat of any candidate.
This bill provides that no candidate, personal campaign committee, former
candidate or personal campaign committee of a former candidate may make a
contribution to another candidate or personal campaign committee. The bill also
provides that no individual who is a candidate for any office, personal campaign
committee of such a candidate, former candidate or former personal campaign
committee of a candidate may make a disbursement for the purpose of influencing
the election or nomination to election of that candidate or any other individual who
is a candidate for any office from money or property that was received by or on behalf
of the candidate or former candidate when he or she was a candidate for another
office. In addition, the bill prohibits the former personal campaign committee of a
candidate which files an oath affirming its independence of any candidate from
making a contribution or disbursement to advocate the election or defeat of a
candidate that is derived in whole or in part from contributions received by that
committee prior to the date on which the committee files that oath.
Treatment of legislative campaign committees
Currently, the adherents of any political party in either house of the legislature
may organize a "legislative campaign committee" to support the candidacy of
members of their party for legislative office. Committees other than legislative
campaign committees and political party committees are generally subject to a
limitation upon the contributions that they may make to candidates for legislative
office or to political parties. Legislative campaign committees are subject only to
overall limitations on the aggregate contributions that may be accepted by a
candidate from entities other than individuals.
The bill eliminates the special status of legislative campaign committees, thus
treating them in the same manner as other special interest committees for the
purpose of contribution limitations.
Public grants
Under current law, public financing from the Wisconsin election campaign fund
is available to finance certain campaign expenses of eligible candidates for the offices
of state senator, representative to the assembly, governor, lieutenant governor,
attorney general, state treasurer, secretary of state, justice of the supreme court and
superintendent of public instruction at the general election. In order to qualify for
a grant from the Wisconsin election campaign fund, a candidate for state office at the
general election must, in addition to other requirements, receive at least 6% of the
total vote cast for the office which the candidate seeks at the September primary.
Currently, the maximum amount of the grant that a candidate for state office may
receive from the Wisconsin election campaign fund is that amount which, when
added to the total amount or value of contributions received by the candidate from
sources other than individuals or political party committees, equals 45% of the
disbursement level applicable to candidates for the office which the candidate seeks,
provided that there are sufficient moneys in the Wisconsin election campaign fund
to make payment of the full amounts of the grants for which candidates qualify.
This bill renames the Wisconsin election campaign fund to be the "Wisconsin
clean election system fund". In lieu of the current formula for determining maximum
grant amounts, the bill establishes fixed maximum initial grant amounts. The bill
also provides that a candidate who accepts a grant may receive an increased grant
from moneys that were allocated for other candidates who could have qualified for
grants but who decline to accept them. Under the bill, the maximum initial amount
of the grant that a candidate for state office may receive from the Wisconsin clean
election system fund is as follows:
-
See PDF for table ![PDF](https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/assets/image/file_acrobat.gif)
Under the bill, if a candidate is bound by a disbursement limitation and by a
limitation on the total contributions which the candidate may accept from political
party committees, the total amount of the grant that the candidate may receive may
not exceed that amount which, when added to the total contributions accepted by the
candidate from all sources other than individuals, equals 65% of the candidate's
disbursement limitation.
The bill also creates a biennial adjustment which causes the statutory
maximum initial grant amounts to be adjusted biennially, beginning in 2002, in
accordance with the rate of increase or decrease in the "consumer price index", as
determined by the federal department of labor, with the result in turn adjusted by
the rate of increase or decrease in the voting age population of this state, as
determined by the federal election commission.
Currently, if a candidate for a partisan state office accepts a public grant and
has an opponent who also could have qualified to receive a grant but declines to
accept one, the candidate is not bound by his or her disbursement limitation.
Similarly, if a candidate for a nonpartisan state office accepts a grant and has an
opponent who declines to accept a grant, that candidate is not bound by his or her
disbursement limitation. However, in either case, if each opponent who declines to
accept a grant files with the elections board an affidavit of voluntary compliance with
the disbursement limitation applicable to candidates for the office which the
candidate seeks, the disbursement limitation for the candidate who accepts a grant
continues to apply. This bill deletes the exception which retains the disbursement
limitation of a candidate if an affidavit is filed by each of his or her opponents.
Currently, if a candidate who could have qualified to receive a public grant fails
to qualify, the grant moneys otherwise available to that candidate become available
to other qualifying candidates for the same office as the office sought by the
nonqualifying candidate. This bill provides that if a candidate for a partisan
executive state office (governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, secretary of
state or state treasurer) could have qualified to receive a grant but fails to qualify,
the moneys otherwise available to that candidate are redistributed to all qualifying
candidates for partisan state executive offices, in addition to the maximum initial
grant amounts, in the same proportion as the initial amounts of their grants bear to
the total amount of grants distributed to all qualifying candidates for partisan state
executive offices, subject to applicable aggregate contribution and disbursement
limitations. The bill also provides that each candidate for a nonpartisan state office
receives only 50% of the moneys available to finance grants for that office, regardless
of whether his or her opponent qualifies to receive a grant, but provides for 50% of
the moneys otherwise available to nonqualifying candidates for nonpartisan state
offices (justice of the supreme court and superintendent of public instruction) to be
redistributed to all qualifying candidates for nonpartisan state offices, in addition
to the maximum initial grant amounts, in the same proportion as the initial amounts
of their grants bear to the total amount of grants distributed to all qualifying
candidates for nonpartisan state offices. Under the bill, the maximum total grant
which a candidate may receive, when added to the total contributions received by the
candidate from sources other than individuals, may not exceed 65% of the
disbursement level applicable to candidates for the office which the candidate seeks,
provided that there are sufficient moneys in the Wisconsin clean election system
fund to make payment of the full amounts of the grants for which candidates qualify.
Currently, any grant moneys that are not encumbered by a candidate on the day
after an election in which the candidate participates revert to the state. In addition,
any deposits and refunds derived from grant moneys that are received by a candidate
after the date of an election in which the candidate participates revert to the state.
This bill provides, instead, that all unencumbered moneys in the campaign
depository account of a candidate who receives a grant on the day after an election
in which the candidate participates plus all deposits and refunds received by such
a candidate after that date, revert to the state to the extent that the unencumbered
moneys, together with the deposits and refunds, do not exceed the amount of the
grant received by that candidate.
Penalties for violations
Currently, any person who violates any provision of the campaign finance law,
except a contribution prohibition, is subject to a forfeiture (civil penalty) of not more
than $500 for each violation. This bill increases this amount to $1,500. In addition,
currently, any person who is delinquent in filing a report is subject to a forfeiture of
not more than $50 or 1% of the annual salary of the office for which a candidate is
being supported or opposed, whichever is greater, for each day of delinquency. This
bill increases these amounts to a maximum of $150 or 3% of the annual salary,
whichever is greater. Currently, any person who makes an unlawful contribution is
subject to a forfeiture of treble the amount of the unlawful contribution. This bill
increases this amount to nine times the amount of the unlawful contribution.
Currently, whoever intentionally violates certain provisions of the campaign
finance law, such as registration requirements, contribution limitations, the
prohibition against making contributions in the name of another person, the
prohibition against using contributions for most nonpolitical purposes and the
prohibition against filing false reports and statements may be fined not more than
$1,000 or imprisoned for not more than six months, or both, if the violation does not
exceed $100 in amount or value, and may be fined not more than $10,000 or
imprisoned for not more than three years, or both, if the violation exceeds $100 in
amount or value. This bill increases these amounts to a maximum fine of $3,000 or
imprisonment for not more than one year, or both, if the violation does not exceed
$100 in amount or value, and a maximum fine of $30,000 or imprisonment for not
more than nine years, or both, if the violation exceeds $100 in amount or value.
Public funding of campaigns for county and 1st class city offices
The bill permits counties and 1st class cities to provide by ordinance for
appropriations to pay for lawful campaign expenses of candidates for county and city
offices, subject to reasonable qualifications and agreements by candidates to adhere
to disbursement and self-contribution limitations. Under the bill, any such
ordinance may prescribe civil penalties for violations of the ordinance or an
agreement entered into under the ordinance not exceeding the amount that would
apply to a violation of the state campaign finance law. The bill also directs the
elections board to review the operation of any such ordinance and provide its
recommendations, if any, concerning extension of a similar system of public funding
to other campaigns for local elective offices in this state to the appropriate legislative
standing committees.
Currently, counties have no such authority. Cities may have such authority
under constitutional home rule powers if an enactment of this nature is considered
to be a "local affair".
Composition of the elections board
Currently, the elections board consists of eight members appointed by the
governor for two-year terms without senate confirmation. One member is selected
by the governor and one member each is designated by the chief justice of the
supreme court, the speaker of the assembly, the senate majority leader, the minority
leader in each house of the legislature, and the chief officer of each political party
qualifying for a separate ballot or column on the ballot whose candidate for governor
received at least 10% of the vote in the most recent gubernatorial election.
The bill recreates the board to consist of eight members appointed by the
governor for staggered four-year terms. One member is selected by the governor and
one member each is designated by the speaker of the assembly, the senate majority
leader and the minority leader in each house of the legislature. Three additional
nonpartisan members are appointed by the governor, subject to senate confirmation.
Under the bill, no nonpartisan member may hold any other office or employment in
the government of this state or any political subdivision thereof or in any department
of state government. In addition, no nonpartisan member, for one year immediately
prior to the date of appointment, may have been, or while serving on the board may
become, a member of a political party, an officer or member of a committee in any
partisan political club or organization or a candidate for any partisan elective public
office. Under the bill, the members of the current board serve until all of the members
of the board who are appointed under the bill qualify for office, at which time the
current members are replaced.
Determinations concerning application of election laws
Currently, any interested person may request a written opinion from the
elections board concerning the person's authority or responsibilities under the
election laws. The board may provide the opinion. No person acting in good faith
upon such an opinion is subject to prosecution for so acting, if the material facts are
as stated in the opinion request. Also, currently, any interested person may petition
the elections board under the state administrative procedure act for a "declaratory
ruling" concerning the applicability to any person, property or facts of any election
law or rule of the board. The board may issue the ruling, and is thereafter bound by
its decision if the facts are as stated in the petition. The declaratory ruling may be
reviewed in court. In addition, currently, any elector of a jurisdiction may contest
before the elections board the decision of any election official of that jurisdiction with
respect to certain specified matters or the board may, on its own motion, investigate
and determine whether an election official is acting in conformity with the law
concerning one of those specified matters. The decision of the board may be reviewed
in court.
This bill establishes, in addition to these procedures, a new procedure whereby
any person may file a petition requesting a ruling concerning the application of the
election laws or rules of the elections board to a particular person or set of facts
described in the petition. The bill directs the board to employ an election examiner
to rule upon the petition. If the petition concerns a question as to whether an election
official or a private person is acting in conformity with the law or rules of the board,
that official or private person must be made a party to the proceeding. The election
examiner must issue a decision, unless the examiner decides, upon motion of an
opposing party, that the petition is clearly without merit. The election examiner may
order an election official or private person to act in conformity with the election laws
or rules of the board, but may not impose a penalty for an alleged violation. The
decision of the election examiner may be appealed to the board. In deciding the
appeal, the board is not bound by any findings of fact or conclusions of law made by
the examiner with respect to the matter. The procedure does not apply to any matter
in which the action or inaction of the board or its executive director is contested, nor
to any matter arising in connection with a recount. The bill directs the elections
board to periodically examine and review decisions issued under the procedure with
a view to clarifying and improving the administration of the election laws.
Biennial review of campaign finance practices
The bill directs the elections board to conduct a biennial review of campaign
finance practices in this state. The review must include an assessment of the
continued appropriateness of the contribution limitations prescribed by law and any
other important problems that require the attention of the legislature, as well as an
assessment of whether a bipartisan committee should be created to provide for
additional study of issues and recommendations for possible additional legislative
changes. If the board concludes that any contribution limitations should be
increased or that any other action should be taken as a result of its review, the board
is directed to transmit its conclusions and recommendations to the appropriate
standing committees of the legislature, together with any information supporting
the board's conclusions.
Study of campaign finance law enforcement
The bill requests the joint legislative council to review the process for detecting
and penalizing violations of the state campaign finance law, with a view to detecting
violations quickly and punishing violators firmly, and to report its findings,
conclusions and recommendations, together with any proposed legislation, to the
2001 legislature when it convenes.
Future study of campaign finance reform
Currently, the governor may create nonstatutory committees to provide advice
concerning policy formation. The bill directs the governor, in cooperation with the
legislature, to exercise this existing authority to create a committee to study
campaign finance reform whenever changing electoral dynamics and campaign
finance technology demand such action. The bill further directs the joint committee
on legislative organization, in cooperation with the governor, to propose the creation
of such a committee whenever those conditions arise.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
