An Act relative to political contributions

This bill amends Massachusetts campaign finance law to set new annual contribution limits for individuals. It establishes a $500 yearly cap on total contributions to most political committees (replacing a previous unclear limit) and creates a separate $5,000 yearly cap for contributions to independent expenditure PACs (defined under Section 18A). The changes directly affect individual donors by clarifying and limiting how much they can give to these specific political groups each year. The bill does not alter existing limits for contributions to candidate committees or other designated entities. These are concrete policy changes to campaign finance rules, not procedural or commemorative measures.
