HB 898 and HB 1498

SW686 · Apr 18, 2017

Is anyone familiar with HB 898 (Election Law - Campaign Finance - Coordinated Expenditures) and HB 1498 (Campaign Finance - Political Organizations - Compliance and Disclosure)?

I'm not a lawyer so I'm not sure I'm understanding these bills correctly but it seems like these bills could have a negative impact on political action organizations. Could these bills make it harder for groups like MSI to oppose anti-gun candidates in future elections?

My understanding is that these bills are going to the governor for signatures. Should we be concerned?

These bills mandate that a person with a handle "SW686" post a picture of some decent revolver porn.

Nice heater ... Where's the foot?

As far as I can tell, HB898 only affect donations coordinated by parties. Analysis here: http://mgaleg.maryland.gov/2017RS/fnotes/bil_0008/hb0898.pdf

HB1498 only impacts disclosure requirements: http://mgaleg.maryland.gov/2017RS/fnotes/bil_0008/hb1498.pdf

Organizations can still donate all they want, but there are new rules for disclosure. I highly doubt it will affect much if anything. Most of what comes out of Annapolis is legislative masturbation for the Democrats.

danb - Thanks for responding and for posting the analysis document links. Next time I'll know to read those too.

GUNSnROTORS - I'm too fat - couldn't bend over far enough to get a good picture with the gun on the floor and couldn't get my foot up on the table next to it either. ; )
