Companies that operate in regulated industries or have state and local government contracts may be subject to “pay-to-play” rules when making political contributions. Pay-to-play (PTP) laws exist at the federal, state, local, and agency levels, and are designed to prevent corruption or undue influence in politics, particularly when it comes to political contributions. PTP laws may apply to political contributions made by executives, employees, and in some cases, their family members.
PASS offers comprehensive PTP compliance services for our clients. We leverage in-house and external resources to identify potential PTP issues a political contribution may trigger, and we help guide clients on the key focus areas.
Pay to Play is one of the many services where the PASS Compliance Team
collaborates closely with our clients to ensure all relevant entities,
including affiliated ones, are considered when assessing government contracts.
Does your organization contract with, or plan to contract with, governmental bodies? If so, it is crucial to understand the specific PTP laws in that jurisdiction. By staying informed, you can avoid jeopardizing existing and future contracts or facing fines and penalties. Contact your PASS Compliance Manager today to discuss our PTP services.
