Limiting Corporate Political Funds to Non-Profit Organizations
This new bill aims to restrict the ability of regular corporations to establish and operate political funds. From now on, only non-profit organizations will be allowed to set up such funds. This means that corporate influence on politics through direct campaign financing may be reduced, potentially affecting the transparency of election funding.
Key points
Only non-profit organizations will be allowed to establish and operate political action committees (PACs).
For-profit corporations will be required to terminate their existing political funds within one year of the bill's enactment.
Rules for soliciting contributions to political funds will change, limiting them to executive and administrative personnel, excluding stockholders and their families.
