An Act relative to dark money in local government

This bill requires anyone spending $1,000 or more to influence town meeting articles (local voting issues) to file detailed reports with the town clerk. It mandates reporting the date, purpose, amount, and source of all contributions, as well as the recipient of each expenditure. Reports must be submitted monthly, before town meetings, and within 30 days after meetings. The law directly affects individuals, corporations, or groups spending significant sums to sway local vote outcomes, aiming to increase transparency around "dark money" in town governance. Violations carry fines up to $1,000 or up to one year in jail.
