The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 309, aims to amend the general statutes to explicitly prohibit political activist organizations from receiving state funds. This legislation seeks to ensure that taxpayer money is not allocated to organizations that engage in political activism, thereby maintaining a separation between state funding and political activities.

In addition to the prohibition, the bill establishes penalties for any violations of this provision. These penalties may include criminal charges for fraud, the requirement to repay any state funds received, and the imposition of treble damages. The intent of these measures is to deter political activist organizations from seeking state funding and to hold them accountable if they do so.
