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

SB 137 requires political action committees (PACs) in West Virginia to disclose the names and addresses of contributors who give more than $1,000 toward electioneering communications (ads supporting or opposing candidates within 12 hours of an election). For individual contributors, PACs must also report occupation, employer, or business details. The Secretary of State must make this information publicly available online within five business days of receiving the disclosure. This bill directly affects PACs and their donors by increasing transparency in campaign spending.
