Bill > SB508

This bill aims to clarify the reporting thresholds and donor disclosure requirements for grassroots lobbying expenditures. Specifically, it requires individuals or organizations who have made over $5,000 in expenditures within a three-month period or over $1,000 within a one-month period on public advocacy campaigns intended to influence legislation to register as sponsors of a grassroots lobbying campaign. These sponsors must then report details such as the names and addresses of contributors providing $1,000 or more, the purpose of the campaign, and the total expenditures made. The bill also mandates that these sponsors file regular reports with the Ethics Commission during the campaign and submit a final report upon its termination.
