119-hr-7802119th Congress

DISCLOSE Act of 2026

Sponsored By: Representative Pappas, Chris [D-NH-1]

Introduced

Summary

Stops foreign money from influencing U.S. elections. This bill would broaden who counts as a covered foreign national, widen what spending counts as foreign contributions, and impose new reporting and digital-ad rules under the Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA).

Show full summary

Voters and communities would get more visibility on foreign targeting because the Government Accountability Office (GAO) must study illicit foreign money every four years, starting with the cycle ending in 2024, and report on effects in rural, minority, military, and veteran communities.
Donors and political groups would face tighter disclosure. Payers must disclose aggregate payments of $10,000 or more to covered organizations and transfers are treated as covered when recipients plan campaign spending of $50,000 or more, with new affiliate rules on how transfers are counted.
Digital platforms, advertisers, and sponsors would face new limits and disclaimers. The bill would bar covered foreign nationals from buying online political ads that target or refer to federal candidates inside 60-day general and 30-day primary windows on platforms meeting a 50 million monthly U.S. reach threshold, and it would require expanded audio, video, and short-ad disclaimers and top-funder disclosures.

Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 3 mixed.

New reporting and foreign‑money rules

If enacted, the bill would create a new campaign-related disbursement reporting system with strict dollar triggers. Covered organizations that spend more than $10,000 in an election cycle would have to file FEC statements within 24 hours and list each disbursement over $1,000 and recipient names and addresses. The bill would expand the foreign‑money ban to more ad types and to payments to persons who made covered transfers in the prior 2 years (covered-transfer lookback $50,000). Large online platforms would be covered if they have 50,000,000 or more unique U.S. monthly users, and some rules take effect for disbursements on or after January 1, 2027.

Stronger ad disclaimers and funder lists

If enacted, many paid audio, video, and digital political messages not authorized by candidates would need clearer disclosure statements and funder lists. Ads paid with campaign-related disbursements would need a Top Five funders list for video/text/graphic ads or a Top Two list for audio when the funders' payments in the prior 12 months meet a $10,000 threshold. Videos must show disclaimers for at least 6 seconds (special 4‑second rule for videos 10 seconds or less). The bill also says it would not force people who are not already covered by current FECA internet-disclaimer law to add internet disclaimers.

New enforcement, study, and court rules

If enacted, the bill would create a new federal crime for forming or using entities to hide foreign‑national election activity, punishable by up to 5 years in prison or fines. It would require the GAO to study illicit foreign money in Federal elections every 4-year cycle starting with the cycle ending 2024 and report to Congress. The bill would also direct that legal challenges start in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, speed those cases, and let Members of Congress intervene in certain suits.
