She also would regulate so-called issue ads — which don’t use specific words such as “vote for” or “vote against” a candidate, but are intended to influence the outcome of an election — based on federal election law.

Federal law defines “electioneering communications” as any broadcast, cable or satellite communication that refers to a clearly identified candidate for federal office 30 days before a primary or 60 days before the general election, and is targeted to the relevant electorate. Taylor would have any group that spends $10,000 or more on an electioneering communication report the disbursement and the identities of donors giving $1,000 or more.

Taylor’s bill also would include in the definition of express advocacy the “functional equivalent” of “vote for” and “vote against,” which Republicans removed from the law because it was subject to broad interpretation.

And it would also ban candidates from controlling separate political action committees or segregated accounts. The State Ethics Commission recently ruled that a state lawmaker could legally launch his own PAC.
