: First Amendment CenterNev. high court backs campaign-finance reporting rules
By By The Associated Press
LAS VEGAS ? The Nevada Supreme Court has rejected a claim by a former state Senate contender who says campaign-finance reporting requirements are unconstitutional.
The court said former candidate Carolyn Bauer was not protected by a constitutional right against self-incrimination when she refused to follow Nevada's Campaign Practices Act.
The Las Vegas Sun reported on Dec. 30 that the court said in Bauer v. Secretary of State that Fifth Amendment rights applied only to criminal matters.
Bauer was an Independent American Party candidate from Washoe County when she failed to file required campaign-finance reports during the 2002 election.
A district court judge ordered her to pay $37,525 in campaign fines, attorney fees and costs.
