The 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 do not meet the traditional definition of an organization but pool or jointly expend funds exceeding $1,000 for independent expenditures or electioneering communications during elections. However, such groups are exempt from filing as an organization if all members are disclosed in the electioneering communications or independent expenditures.

This legislation aims to enhance transparency in campaign financing by ensuring that smaller groups engaging in significant financial activities related to elections are recognized as organizations, thereby subject to reporting requirements. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon the completion of the necessary legislative processes.
