Campaign expenditures; creating the Campaign Expenditure Transparency Act. Effective date. Emergency.

SB 1051, the Campaign Expenditure Transparency Act, requires organizations spending money on campaign materials (like ads or mailers) to publicly disclose key contact details - such as the president's and treasurer's names and addresses - within five business days of spending. It prohibits hiding identities through fake names, unregistered entities, or rented post office boxes, and mandates a public database of all disclosures. Violators face civil penalties up to $25,000, criminal fines of $10,000 for willful violations, and may be barred from future campaign spending for five years. The bill directly affects groups funding election-related communications in Oklahoma, aiming to prevent anonymous spending and increase election integrity. It takes effect July 1, 2025.
