An Act amending the act of June 3, 1937 (P.L.1333, No.320), known as the Pennsylvania Election Code, in primary and election expenses, further providing for advertising.
SB 105 requires organizations running political advertisements not authorized by a candidate or their committee to list the top five donors who contributed the most in the previous year. This applies to ads promoting or opposing candidates or ballot questions through media like newspapers, radio, or online. The bill mandates that such ads include the exact phrase "The top five contributors to the organization for this advertisement are" followed by the donor names. It amends Section 1638(a)(3) of Pennsylvania's Election Code to enforce this transparency requirement. The law would take effect 60 days after enactment.
