An Act Regarding Campaign Finance Disclosure

This bill amends Maine's campaign finance laws to strengthen disclosure requirements. It prohibits using contributor information from campaign finance reports for commercial purposes like sales, marketing, or unrelated solicitations, and bans publicly sharing contributor mailing addresses. Violators face fines up to $5,000 or a Class E crime charge. The law directly affects candidates, political action committees, party committees, and any organization handling campaign finance data. Key provisions clarify definitions of "public communication" and increase penalties for misrepresenting contributions.
