Relating to: reporting a contributor’s place of employment.
This bill requires political committees and candidates to report the name and address of the principal place of employment for individual contributors who donate more than $100 in a calendar year, down from the previous $200 threshold. The change applies to contributions made to candidate committees, political parties, legislative campaign committees, political action committees, independent expenditure committees, recipient committees, referendum committees, and recall committees. By lowering the reporting threshold, the bill expands the number of donors whose employment information must be publicly disclosed in campaign finance records. The legislation directly affects political organizations and committees that collect and report contribution data to state election authorities.
