Bill > HB1201

This bill amends an existing law (RSA 664:6, VII) to require certain tax-exempt political committees—specifically those organized under sections 501(c)(4), 501(c)(5), or 501(c)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code—to disclose the identity of their donors in their itemized statement of receipts. Previously, these political committees had the option to not disclose donor identities and were only required to include a disclaimer on voter communications stating they were not disclosing donors. The bill removes the previous language that allowed committees to choose not to disclose donors and instead mandates full donor disclosure. The new requirement will take effect 60 days after the bill's passage, which means political committees will need to be prepared to reveal the names of individuals and organizations that financially support them. This change aims to increase transparency in political funding by ensuring voters have more information about the financial backers of political committees.
