This act aims to limit the influence of large corporations in politics by prohibiting them from establishing and operating political action committees (PACs). From now on, only nonprofit organizations will be allowed to form such committees. This means citizens can expect less corporate money influencing elections and political decisions, potentially increasing the importance of individual votes and smaller donations.
