CT SB01027

Eliminates the "small contributor" exemption that previously allowed contributions of $50 or less to be reported in aggregate rather than individually identified, effective January 1, 2018.

Requires treasurers to request missing disclosure information (employer, occupation, certification) from contributors within three business days via certified mail and return contributions if information is not provided within 14 days or by end of reporting period, whichever is later.

Requires contributors to state their employer status and certify they are not prohibited from contributing when making contributions to state-level candidates and committees (Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, State Comptroller, Secretary of State, State Treasurer, state senator, state representative, and party committees).

Requires detailed disclosure of secondary payees when primary payees distribute funds to other vendors, and mandates itemized accounting of unpaid expenses including those charged to credit cards.

Requires party committees, legislative caucus committees, and legislative leadership committees to notify candidate committees of any organizational expenditures made on their behalf and directs the State Elections Enforcement Commission to post all organizational expenditures on its website.
