An Act relative to bake sales, farmer’s markets, or community festivals by political party committees

This bill clarifies that payments for food, beverages, or goods sold at bake sales, farmer’s markets, or community festivals organized by political party committees (under G.L. c. 52, §§2-3) do not count as campaign contributions if the total annual amount is under $10,000. It directly affects local political party committees hosting such events, removing the need to report small-scale food sales as contributions. The key provision amends the definition of "contribution" to exclude these nominal-price sales, simplifying reporting requirements for low-value transactions.
