Florez pushes bill forcing political nonprofits to disclose funding
Senator Dean Florez proposes legislation to close loopholes that let political nonprofits like CASE run ads without revealing donors or expenditures. He says all 501(4) groups must file with the Fair Political Rotary of State, matching campaign committee disclosure to inform voters. The measure targets groups claiming educational status to avoid scrutiny.
