Bill Summary

Relative to certain contributions to political action committees. Election Laws.

AI Summary

This bill amends the existing Massachusetts election laws to allow not-for-profit corporations, trade unions, trade associations, or chambers of commerce to incur costs to solicit, administer, or maintain a political action committee (PAC), provided that such costs do not exceed 30% of the PAC's annual expenditures. This change exempts these types of organizations from the general prohibition on using corporate funds to support political activities.
