Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
Electronic filing for election ads
If enacted, this bill would require people who make electioneering communications to file campaign reports electronically. It adds those people to the existing electronic-filing rule in 52 U.S.C. 30104(a)(11)(A)(i). This would give the public faster access to timely information about political spending.
More payment options for campaigns
If enacted, this bill would let campaign accounts make disbursements by methods other than checks. It removes the statutory phrase that limited payments to checks and allows other payment methods from those accounts. This could change how committees keep records and how audits work.
