Bill > HR1414

This bill proposes to amend the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to reduce the number of members of the Federal Election Commission (FEC) from 6 to 5, revise the method of selection and terms of service of FEC members, and distribute the powers of the Commission between the Chair and the remaining members. Key provisions include: 1) reducing the FEC from 6 to 5 members appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate, with no more than 2 members affiliated with the same political party; 2) establishing single 6-year terms for FEC members with no reappointment; 3) giving the Chair of the FEC greater administrative and investigative powers, while retaining certain key powers with the full Commission; 4) revising the process for initiating investigations and determining probable cause of violations; 5) allowing private parties to seek judicial review of FEC dismissals of complaints; and 6) making permanent the FEC's authority to impose administrative penalties.
