Committee approves change to require donor information for gift-card contributions under SB 92
Summary
The committee approved SB 92 provisions intended to require donors to provide name and address information for gift-card contributions to campaigns, aiming to reduce anonymous or fraudulent donations and improve traceability.
Committee members considered SB 92, a bill that would require more detailed donor information for gift-card contributions to political campaigns. Presenters noted that gift cards are often used in ways that make donations difficult to trace, and the measure would require a donor name, address and ZIP code for such transactions to improve accountability.
Supporters said requiring additional information on gift-card donations would help make campaign finance records more reliable and harder to exploit through anonymous or synthetic donations. A motion to report SB 92 favorably from committee was moved, seconded and approved.
The committee recorded its approval by voice vote in the transcript; a detailed roll-call tally was not recorded.
