AI Summary
This bill amends South Carolina law to require more detailed information about campaign contributions, aiming to increase transparency in political fundraising. Specifically, it mandates that candidates and committees must record the occupation and employer of individuals making contributions, not just their name and address. This requirement applies to all contributions in some sections and to contributions exceeding one hundred dollars in others, as well as to cash contributions under twenty-five dollars. The bill also updates the official campaign reporting forms to include this new information, ensuring that the public and regulatory bodies have a clearer understanding of who is funding political campaigns and their professional affiliations.
