SB 98 requires political action committees (PACs) in West Virginia to disclose the names and addresses of contributors who gave more than $1,000 in a calendar year to the Secretary of State. For individual contributors, this includes additional details like occupation, employer, or business information. The Secretary of State must then make this information publicly available online within five business days of receiving the disclosure. This bill directly affects PACs and their major contributors by increasing transparency in campaign funding.
