Travis Fain, WRAL — Legislation requiring charities and other nonprofits to keep donors secret unless the donor gives written permission cleared the North Carolina House on Thursday, despite continued concerns that the measure will add another layer of secrecy to political advertising. Supporters of Senate Bill 636 say that’s not the intent, and that’s not what the bill does. The measure specifically says it won’t apply to disclosures required by North Carolina’s campaign finance laws, and a Politifact check earlier this year on the bill deemed claims from Democratic opponents “mostly false.” Investigators could still get donor records with a subpoena under the bill.
