Increased Transparency in Political Funding: Disclosing Donors and Restricting PAC Use.
This Act boosts campaign finance transparency by requiring political groups to disclose their top three funders directly in advertisements. It also tightens rules to prevent politicians from using political committee funds (PACs) for personal expenses. Citizens will gain clearer insight into who is truly financing election ads, enhancing political accountability.
Key points
Political advertisements (video, audio, digital) must now clearly display the names of the three largest financial backers.
Restrictions on using political committee funds (Leadership PACs) for personal expenses are expanded and strengthened.
Spending coordinated with a candidate or party is now explicitly treated as a direct contribution, subject to legal limits.
The definition of political communication is expanded to include paid internet and digital advertisements.
