A bill that aims to reorganize and clarify Denver’s campaign finance laws was introduced by members of the City Council on Monday night.
Along with tidying up language to improve readability and accessibility, Council Bill 24-1676 would prohibit anonymous contributions to candidates running for elected office, equalize contributions amounts for Fair Elections Fund (FEF) and non-FEF candidates, clarify requirements for neutral debates, update requirements for neutral hearing officers and list prohibited expenditures for FEF money.
The bill is sponsored by District 9 Councilmember Darrell Watson and District 5 Councilmember Amanda Sawyer.
