This bill amends the definition of "organization" within the context of campaign practices in Wyoming. It clarifies that an "organization" includes any group of two or more individuals that collectively spends over $1,000 on independent expenditures or electioneering communications, even if the funds are managed by a single individual. However, such groups are exempt from filing as an organization if all members are disclosed in the electioneering communications or independent expenditures.
The bill aims to enhance transparency in campaign financing by ensuring that smaller groups that pool resources for political purposes are recognized under the law. The effective date of the act is immediate upon the completion of all necessary legislative procedures.
