California to Crack Down on Anonymous Nonprofit Political Donations - NPQ - Nonprofit Quarterly

California to Crack Down on Anonymous Nonprofit Political Donations - NPQ - Nonprofit Quarterly: bill requiring greater transparency from electioneering nonprofits has passed the California Senate and could be on its way to Gov. Jerry Brown for signature, reports the Sacramento Bee.

The bill is a result of the fact that out-of-state nonprofit groups spent $11 million on the 2012 election cycle, which eventually earned them a $1 million California Fair Political Practices Commission fine. Legislators have reacted by trying to tighten the campaign spending rules since then.
