Introduced
Summary
Creates strict limits and public reporting on donations to Presidential Libraries and Centers. This bill would establish an enforcement-focused framework that controls who may give, caps amounts, requires disclosure, and authorizes penalties for violations.
Show full summary
- Presidential Libraries and Centers would be barred from soliciting or accepting donations from lobbyists, registered agents of foreign principals, federal contractors, foreign nationals, people who sought or received a presidential pardon, or non-501(c)(3) entities while a President is serving or has been elected. It also bans donations and solicitations during a 2-year cooling off after the President leaves office and forbids converting gifts to personal use.
- Donors would face a hard aggregate limit of $10,000 from the President's election until one year after leaving office, indexed to inflation. Any person who gives at least $200 in a calendar quarter would trigger required quarterly disclosure as a covered donor.
- The Archivist would require quarterly reports that are published online. The Attorney General and state attorneys general could seek civil penalties up to the greater of $20,000 or the donation value and criminal penalties that can include prison terms up to five years for serious violations.

Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 1 costs, 2 mixed.
Strong penalties for donation violations
This bill would add strong enforcement. The Attorney General, and State attorneys general in civil cases, could bring cases. Civil fines could be up to the greater of $20,000 or the donation amount, and up to $100,000 or the amount if yearly donations top $50,000. Knowing crimes could bring fines and up to 1 year in prison, or up to 5 years for higher‑value cases. Penalties would be indexed for inflation, courts could order disgorgement and injunctions, and cases would have a 10‑year time limit. The Archivist would issue rules to carry out these requirements.
Quarterly donor reports and real names
This bill would require quarterly public reports of donors who give $200 or more in a quarter. Presidential Libraries and Centers would have 15 days after each quarter to file with the Archivist. The Archivist would post the complete reports online within 30 days, free and searchable. From election to five years after leaving office, it would be illegal to give or accept donations in someone else’s name.
Tight limits on Presidential Library donations
This bill would set strict limits on donations to Presidential Libraries and Centers. While someone is serving as President or has been elected, registered lobbyists, agents of foreign principals, federal contractors, foreign nationals, pardon‑seekers or recipients, and anyone who is not a 501(c)(3) could not donate or be solicited. For two years after the President leaves office, those same groups would remain banned. From election day through one year after the presidency ends, any person could give no more than $10,000 total, indexed for inflation and rounded to the nearest $1,000. Donations could not be used for anyone’s personal expenses. A donation would include money, loans, or anything of value given directly or indirectly, but not unpaid volunteer time.
