A pair of bills introduced in the state House affect candidates for elected office in Pennsylvania.
Both bills would make changes to the state’s Election Code. One would expand the process of background checks for someone who wants to serve on local school boards.
A candidate would be prohibited from running if they fail to submit the required state and federal clearances. The other bill would require nonprofit organizations to disclose a contribution of $25,000 dollars or more to a political candidate within a calendar year.
This bill would also require disclosure of the source of the 10 largest payments to candidates.
