House Roll Call 869: Passed

To prohibit government agencies in Michigan, including courts, tribunals, and judicial or quasi-judicial bodies, from imposing a donor disclosure mandate on nonprofit organizations organized under section 501 of the federal tax code, meaning a duty to disclose to government authorities or others the identity of or personal information on contributors or members. Agencies and their staff would also be prohibited from disclosing such information if they already possess it, with violators subject to misdemeanor penalties, and to civil fines of up to $2,500, or $7,500 if done deliberately.
