Two new bills recently introduced in the California State Legislature would increase the disclosure requirements applicable to certain nonprofit organizations participating in California political campaigns and would strengthen the enforcement authority of the California Fair Political Practices Commission. Under current California regulations that went into effect this past May, nonprofit organizations such as Section 501(c)(6) trade associations, Section 501(c)(4) social welfare organizations and Section 501(c)(3) charities are already required to disclose the identity of any donor making a contribution of $100 or more within the reporting period who requests or knows that the organization will use the donor’s payment to make a contribution or independent expenditure to support or oppose a candidate or ballot measure in California. If the donor knows or has reason to know that only a portion of the donor’s payment will be used to make such contribution or independent expenditure, the payment is apportioned on a reasonable basis in order to determine the amount of the contribution. Both of the two recently introduced bills, Senate Bill 3 and Assembly Bill 45, would codify this relatively new regulation.
