Requiring political action committee to disclose contributors' names and addresses to Secretary of State

HB 3400 requires political action committees (PACs) spending on electioneering communications to disclose the names and addresses of contributors who gave over $1,000 in a year to the West Virginia Secretary of State. PACs must provide this information within 24 hours of filing their disclosure statement, including contributor occupations or business details if self-employed. The bill mandates that PACs collect this data at the time of contribution and requires the Secretary of State to make the information publicly available online within five business days. This applies to PACs spending $5,000+ annually on political ads or $1,000+ within 12 hours of an election.
