Welcome to the August edition of the Political Law Playbook. This month, we cover ABC’s legal challenge to the FCC’s review of its broadcast licenses, a new foreign influence transparency office in Canada, and a test case in the US Circuit Court of Appeals for the First Circuit attempting to regulate super PACs. At the state level, we detail an attempt by Hawai’i lawmakers to address bribery concerns among state lawmakers, recent changes to New Hampshire’s PAC disclosure rules, and legislative updates to Michigan’s revolving door policies for state lawmakers and officials.
