Mandate posting names of "issue ad" contributors

Introduced in the House

Dec. 4, 2013

Introduced by Rep. Andy Schor (D-68)

To mandate that an individual or organization who buys a political “issue ad” that references a candidate or ballot question (but does not necessarily engage in campaign-related “express advocacy”) within 60 days of an election must file a report with the Secretary of State within seven days containing the full name and street address of each person who contributed for the ad. The Secretary of State would then have to post this information on the internet within 24 hours.

Referred to the Committee on Elections and Ethics
