An Act requiring major policy makers to disclose donations to entities engaging in political activity

This bill requires major policy makers in Massachusetts to publicly disclose financial contributions made to specific organizations that engage in political activities. It applies to individuals in key government roles, regardless of whether they are paid, and targets donations given to tax-exempt groups or limited liability corporations that support or oppose candidates, ballot measures, or make electioneering communications. The law mandates that these disclosures be reported to the office of campaign and political finance for any transfer of money or value exceeding $1,000. Additionally, political committees must report the names of major policy makers who make such contributions to these entities.
