State Panel Outlaws ‘Dark Money’ In California Political Campaigns
Via Los Angeles Times:
“The state’s campaign finance watchdog agency on Thursday adopted new requirements that nonprofit groups that contribute through a federal political action committee to support or oppose ballot measures or candidates in California must disclose their donors.
“The amendment to this regulation clarifies that so-called ‘dark money,’ originating from nonprofit or other organizations whose donors are not disclosed, is not permitted in California elections,” said Hyla P. Wagner, general counsel for the state Fair Political Practices Commission in a report to the panel.
Legislation and previous action by the commission had generally required disclosure of donors where money went to support or oppose candidates and ballot measures in California.”
