Committee reports

Reproduced from the House Calendar in the committee’s own words.

Majority — INEXPEDIENT TO LEGISLATE

Rep. Clayton Wood

By requiring disclosure of the “original sources” of funds for independent expenditures, the bill would create additional administrative complexity and enforcement burdens for both regulated entities and the Secretary of State. Current campaign finance laws already impose robust disclosure requirements, and expanding them in this manner risks unintended consequences without clear evidence that it would meaningfully enhance transparency or public trust. Vote 9-8.

Minority — OUGHT TO PASS

Rep. Russell Muirhead

Transparency is the heart of combating political corruption. Citizens need to know who is contributing to campaigns to understand the influence that weigh on elected officials. When no one can tell where political donations come from, big money can corrupt democracy. This bill would require any organization that makes huge contributions to statewide elections to show citizens where the money comes from. It does not cap or regulate donations – it only imposes the basic requirement of transparency. More specifically, this bill would require that any person or entity that contributes more than $500,000 to a governor’s race or more than $50,000 to a campaign for state house, state senate or executive council to disclose the names of those whose donations constitute the original sources of the funds. Voters deserve to know who is paying for their elections and who is trying to influence their elected officials. For that reason, the minority opposes Inexpedient to Legislate.
