Center for Competitive Politics (CCP) will appeal to the Supreme Court of the US a recent California Circuit Court decision that required nonprofits to file unredacted “Schedule B forms” at the California Attorney General’s Office. The Center for Competitive Politics (CCP) filed a 70-page emergency application for an injunction with the Supreme Court.
The NonProfit Times Reported on this subject that CCP alleges in the court documents, “The court did not require the attorney general to meaningfully justify her demand,” and, “instead, it declared that nonprofits must prove that they and their donors will suffer an ‘actual burden’ from the compelled disclosure. The decision shifts the burden of persuasion and establishes a presumption of government entitlement to bulk collection of private information unless an organization can demonstrate particularized harm.”
