Ban on compensating family from campaign funds

New rules aim to increase transparency in election campaign financing. They prohibit campaign committees from paying immediate family members of a candidate for services. Additionally, committees will have to disclose all payments made to family members, helping citizens assess the fairness of expenditures.
Key points
Campaign committees cannot pay immediate family members of a candidate for services rendered.
All payments to a candidate's family members must be publicly reported.
A candidate may face fines or imprisonment for knowingly violating these rules, and the committee cannot reimburse these costs.
