To apply all the reporting requirements and restrictions of the state campaign finance law to corporations and unions that make an independent expenditure advocating the election or defeat of a candidate. The bill is part of a package comprised of Senate Bills 1361 to 1368, introduced after the U.S. Supreme Court’s Citizens United v Federal Election Commission ruling that overturned a law restricting independent expenditures not just by for-profit businesses, but also by unions and non-profit groups motivated by ideological or political concerns.
Referred to the Committee on Campaign and Election Oversight
