Bill overview
This bill requires increased disclosures of election expenditures in West Virginia. It mandates that individuals and entities making independent expenditures of $1,000 or more during a year must report detailed information about their donors, the amounts contributed, and the recipients of those funds. The bill also introduces a new section, the ‘Smear Merchant Transparency and Accountability Act,’ to address ‘covered transfers’ – financial movements designed to obscure the source of campaign funds. It establishes penalties for non-compliance and allows for rulemaking to implement these requirements, with a particular focus on ensuring transparency regarding dark money in elections.
