HB 2892 prohibits state agencies and local governments from collecting or disclosing personal affiliation information about individuals who support, volunteer for, or donate to nonprofit organizations. It makes it illegal for public agencies to require nonprofits to submit donor lists or for government employees to release such information. The bill creates a civil cause of action allowing affected individuals to sue for injunctive relief and damages, and it waives sovereign immunity for lawsuits brought under this law. Additionally, it establishes criminal penalties for government employees who knowingly violate the law​.
