The bill, known as General Assembly Committee Bill No. 135, establishes a working group tasked with studying the prohibition of nonprofit organizations that receive state funding from engaging in political or partisan activities. The working group will explore effective methods to prevent these organizations from aiding or promoting any candidate, political party, or ideology, as well as the potential repercussions for violations, which may include criminal liability or the reduction of state funding. Additionally, the group will consider processes for reviewing claims of such activities, including the feasibility of requiring nonprofits to prove that state funds were not used for political purposes.

The working group will be composed of the chairpersons and ranking members of the joint standing committee of the General Assembly that oversees elections, along with other relevant individuals as deemed necessary. The first meeting is to be scheduled within sixty days of the bill's passage, and the group is required to submit a report of its findings and recommendations by January 1, 2026. The bill aims to ensure that partisan politics do not infiltrate the nonprofit sector, thereby maintaining the integrity of organizations that receive state funding.
