What level of lobbying triggers registration and reporting requirements in Arizona? What is the current definition of electioneering communications in Colorado? Can a 501(c)(4) make a contribution to a candidate in New Mexico? When does a 501(c)(3) organization that is working to support a ballot measure have to register with the state in Wisconsin?

Alliance for Justice has traditionally provided guidance on federal tax and federal election law to help nonprofit groups navigate the laws that impact their advocacy campaigns. To ensure that all 501(c) organizations (including 501(c)(3), 501(c)(4), 501(c)(5), and 501(c)(6) among others) comply with both federal and state governing law that impacts their lobbying and election activity at the federal, state and local level we are adding state law resources to our cache of long-standing federal resources.

With the assistance of local attorneys and Lichtman, Trister and Ross (Allen Mattison, Holly Schadler and Daniel Taylor ), Alliance for Justice has compiled web-based state law resources on campaign finance and ballot measures, lobbying disclosure and voter registration issues.  These resources are available for free to nonprofit organizations. An annual subscription fee applies to all law firms. If you are interested in accessing these resources, please CLICK HERE to be taken to State Resources.
