Campaign contributions, reports required to include occupation and name of employer of contributor, Sec. 17-5-8 am'd.; Act 2009-751, 2009 Reg. Sess. am'd.

Summary

HB200 would require campaign contribution reports to include the contributor’s occupation and employer, and for political action committees, the contributor’s city of residence.

What This Bill Does

It amends Section 17-5-8 to require that, for contributions over $100 in a calendar year, reports disclose the contributor’s occupation and employer. For political action committees, reports would also include the contributor’s city of residence. The change applies to all required campaign finance reports and is in addition to existing reporting details like amounts and dates; it becomes effective on the first day of the third month after passage and governor approval.

Who It Affects

• Donors: any individual contributor who gives more than $100 in a calendar year, whose occupation and employer must be disclosed in campaign finance reports.
• Campaign committees, political action committees, and elected officials (and the filing offices): must include the added identification data on reports and follow the updated filing timelines; PACs must include city of residence for contributors.

Key Provisions

• Requires disclosure of contributor occupation and employer for all contributions over $100, with PACs also listing city of residence for each contributor.
• Establishes that the act becomes effective on the first day of the third month after passage and governor approval.
