9. SB 346 3rd Reading

Passage; April 16, 2013; Journal Page 923: 23 Yeas, 6 Nays

YCT Nay. SB 346 requires non-profits engaging in political speech to disclose the names of all of their donors. Under the guise of a transparency bill, this legislation sought to discourage individuals from getting involved politically by putting them in a position where they may be intimidated or bullied by their political foes. The bill also established separate, possibly unconstitutional, reporting requirements for certain corporations, while including exemptions for labor unions.
