Short description: 
ELEC CD-CASH CONTRIBTIONS                                                  

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends  the  Election  Code.   Provides  that  no  candidate   or      
   political  committee  may  accept cash contributions in excess of $150      
   from any person or entity during  any  semi-annual  reporting  period.      
   Provides  that  any  contribution  in  excess  of $150 must be made by      
   negotiable instrument or be  evidenced  by  an  itemized  credit  card      
   receipt.   Provides  that  a  violation  is  a  Class  A  misdemeanor.      
   Provides  that  a person who is convicted of violating the limits must      
   be fined 3 times the amount of the contributions accepted in violation      
   of the limits.  Provides that a contribution accepted in violation  of      
   the limits escheats to the State of Illinois.  Effective immediately.       
          FISCAL NOTE (State Board of Elections)                               
          HB 392 would have minimal fiscal impact on the operations of         
          the State Board of Elections. Any implementation costs could         
          be absorbed within the regular operating budget.                     
          JUDICIAL NOTE (Office of the Illinois Courts)                        
          It has been determined that HB 392 would neither increase nor        
          decrease the number of judges needed in the State.                   
          CORRECTIONAL NOTE (Department of Corrections)                        
          There would be no population or cost impact to the Department.
