Limiting Commercial Corporations' Political Campaign Funding

This act changes political campaign finance rules, restricting the ability to establish and operate political action committees (PACs) exclusively to nonprofit organizations. This means commercial companies will no longer be able to directly financially support political candidates and parties through their own PACs. This change aims to reduce the influence of large corporations on elections and politics, which may affect how citizens perceive the fairness of electoral processes.
Key points
Commercial corporations will lose the ability to establish and operate their own political action committees (PACs).
Only nonprofit organizations will be allowed to establish and manage political funds.
Existing commercial corporate PACs will be terminated within one year of the act's enactment.
The change aims to limit corporate influence on politics and elections.
