AI Summary

This bill proposes amendments to Massachusetts election laws regarding electioneering communication expenditures. It requires individuals, groups, or entities (not defined as political committees) who make electioneering communication expenditures over $250 in a calendar year to electronically file a report with the state director, providing details such as the name and address of the entity, the name of any candidate clearly identified, the total amount of the communication, and the vendor information. For internet advertising electioneering communications, the report must also include the advertisement as delivered, demographic information of the target audience, and the top contributors to the entity. The bill also requires the director to establish an online public archive for these internet advertising electioneering communications, making the information publicly available.
