An Act requiring major policy makers to disclose donations to entities engaging in political activity

HD 1373 requires individuals in major policymaking roles (as defined in Chapter 268B) to disclose transfers of money or valuables exceeding $1,000 to tax-exempt organizations (like 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(4) groups) or other entities that engage in political activity. This includes donations to groups supporting candidates, ballot measures, or electioneering communications, or to entities that then make such political contributions. The disclosure must be reported to the Office of Campaign and Political Finance by the recipient entity. The law aims to increase transparency around funding flows to political actors by mandating disclosure of significant financial contributions.
