Bill Summary
For legislation to promote political participation. Election Laws.
AI Summary
This bill aims to promote political participation in Massachusetts by creating a payroll deduction mechanism that allows employees to voluntarily contribute small amounts from their paychecks to not-for-profit social welfare organizations or candidate/political committees. The bill defines "covered organizations" that can receive these contributions and outlines the standards for valid employee authorization, including a minimum contribution of $2 per pay period. The bill prohibits employers from interfering with or retaliating against employees who exercise this right, and the Attorney General is tasked with enforcing the law and creating necessary regulations.
