Maine LD951 mandates disclosure of campaign funding sources by certain committees.

Maine LD951 requires party, political action, and ballot question committees to notify contributors in writing that their contributions may be used to influence campaigns. Contributors must disclose the identity and amounts of original sources of funds, including third parties transferring funds. The bill defines "original funds" as those received from employment, investments, commercial transactions, or membership dues. The Commission on Governmental Ethics and Election Practices can assess penalties for non-compliance.
