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

In addition to the prohibition, the bill establishes penalties for violations of this rule, which may include criminal penalties for fraud, the requirement to repay any state funds received, and the imposition of treble damages. The intent of the bill is to safeguard public funds from being used to support political agendas, thereby promoting transparency and accountability in the use of state resources.
