What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill prohibits a corporation, cooperative association, labor organization, or

federally recognized American Indian Tribe from making a contribution to a

segregated fund established and administered by a political party or legislative

campaign committee. Current law authorizes these entities to make contributions

to a segregated fund of up to $12,000 in the aggregate in a calendar year. Current

law specifies that a segregated fund is a fund established by a political party or

legislative campaign committee for purposes other than making contributions to a

candidate committee or making disbursements for express advocacy.
