Relating to: contributions by corporations, cooperative associations, labor organizations, and federally recognized American Indian Tribes.
This bill would allow corporations, cooperatives, labor organizations, and federally recognized American Indian Tribes to contribute up to $12,000 per year to political segregated funds, while maintaining a ban on contributions to other types of political committees. The law applies to both foreign and domestic entities and specifically permits these groups to support candidates through segregated funds, which are different from independent expenditure or referendum committees. The provision is designed to clarify and codify existing rules about political contributions from these specific types of organizations.
