Street addresses of individuals on campaign finance reports filed with the Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board, local governments, and school districts are classified as private/nonpublic data and must be redacted from publicly posted reports within seven days of enactment

Noncampaign disbursement limits for security-related expenses increase from $3,000 to $5,000 for detection/monitoring expenses, with a separate $25,000 limit for security services; security services must be provided by law enforcement or licensed private security vendors

Political party units may provide security services as in-kind contributions to three or more candidates without counting toward contribution limits; candidates' personal security payments are exempt from self-contribution limits

Campaign material disclaimer requirements are simplified to require only the name of the responsible entity (rather than "committee") plus either mailing address, email address, or website

Candidates may request private classification of their residence address on affidavits of candidacy without providing certification of safety concerns; the Campaign Finance Board must remove and repost all reports with redacted addresses within six months
