Bill > S471

This bill aims to promote political participation by enabling employees in Massachusetts to make voluntary payroll deductions to contribute to non-profit social welfare organizations and political committees. The key provisions include: requiring employers to process these deductions upon written authorization from employees, setting standards for valid authorization and revocation, establishing a certification process for eligible organizations, prohibiting employers from interfering with or retaliating against employees who exercise this right, and authorizing the Attorney General to enforce the law and adopt implementing regulations. The bill is intended to help low-income residents overcome financial barriers to political engagement by facilitating small, affordable contributions through payroll deductions.
