Plain-language change summary

The changes to Bill SCM 1003 involve the addition of a specific reference to the authority over campaign finance at the state level. This means the bill is now more focused on how state regulations can govern campaign financing rather than being a general statement on the issue. This matters because clarifying state authority could strengthen local policies on campaign finance, potentially increasing transparency and accountability in elections.
