To receive a grant, a candidate must affirm that he or she has not accepted and
agrees not to accept a contribution from any source other than qualifying
contributions or seed money contributions, which may be accepted by a candidate
before the candidate qualifies to receive a grant. The total seed money contributions
accepted by a candidate from one contributor, including contributions by a candidate
to his or her own campaign, may not exceed $100. The total seed money contributions
accepted by a candidate from all contributors range from $50,000 to $1,500,
depending upon the office sought by the candidate. A candidate must deposit with
the board any unencumbered seed money contributions held by the candidate on the
day the candidate receives notification of qualification for a grant. If any person
makes an expenditure independently of a candidate or incurs an obligation to make
such an expenditure for the purpose of making a mass communication containing a
reference to a candidate for a state office other than the office of court of appeals
judge, circuit judge, or district attorney within 60 days preceding a primary or
election for that office, the person must report that expenditure or obligation to the
board. Upon receipt of the report by the board, each candidate who accepts a grant
qualifies to receive an additional grant equal to the amount of the independent
expenditures and outstanding obligations made in opposition to that candidate or in
support of his or her opponent. If a candidate who accepts a grant is opposed by a
candidate who does not accept a grant or who violates his or her agreement, any
candidate for the same office who accepts a grant qualifies to receive an additional
grant equal to the amount by which disbursements by the other candidate exceed the
original amount of the grant received by that candidate. The sum of all additional

grants made to a single candidate may not exceed 2.5 times the original amount of
a candidate's grant. The bill permits grants to be spent for any lawful purpose. To
facilitate matching of independent expenditures made and obligations incurred in
opposition to a candidate or in support of a candidate's opponent, the bill revises
current requirements for individuals and committees making such disbursements
to report disbursements exceeding $20 cumulatively if they are made within 15 days
of an election to require, instead, reporting of all independent expenditures and
obligations to make such expenditures in support of or in opposition to a candidate
for a state office other than court of appeals judge, circuit judge, or district attorney
if the expenditures are made or obligations incurred within 60 days of an election.
The bill also deletes the disbursement and self-contribution limitations
currently applicable to candidates who accept grants from the Wisconsin election
campaign fund, as well as the provision that permits submission of an affidavit of
voluntary compliance with those limitations. Under the bill, a candidate must
return to the state grant moneys that are not spent by the candidate on the day after
an election.
The bill provides that if a candidate does not adhere to the agreement required
to obtain a grant, the candidate is subject to a forfeiture (civil penalty) equivalent to
the amount of the grant that the candidate received, and in addition may be fined
not more than three times the amount of any contributions received by the candidate
excluding the amount of any grant and any qualifying or seed money contributions
that are permitted to be received under the bill.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
