Bill > SB16

This bill, the Protect Our Right to Unite Act, aims to protect an individual's constitutional right to privately associate with advocacy groups that represent their beliefs. It prohibits public agencies in West Virginia from requiring tax-exempt organizations to provide donor or membership information, and prevents the release of such information without the express written permission of the organization and the individual. The bill also provides civil remedies, including the ability to seek injunctions, recover damages, and receive attorney's fees, if the law is violated. The purpose is to ensure that private association is not discouraged or suppressed by actions of public agencies, in line with the Supreme Court's NAACP v. Alabama decision.
