SB 495 West Virginia Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Requiring contact information for chair of political committee

SB 495 requires political committees in West Virginia to include the chair's contact details - such as name, address, phone number, and email - in their official registration documents. It also mandates that committees acknowledge in their registration that they will comply with the state's campaign finance reporting rules. This applies to committees supporting candidates for offices larger than a county (like state or federal offices) and other political committees as defined by law. The bill adds these requirements to the existing statement of organization form, which already includes treasurer information, to improve transparency and accountability in campaign finance reporting.
