AI Summary

This bill amends the Pennsylvania Election Code to further regulate contributions by agents, anonymous contributions, and cash contributions. Specifically, it prohibits candidates or political committees from soliciting or accepting preselected or prescheduled recurring contributions without the express and affirmative consent of the contributor. It requires specific disclosure and cancellation procedures for any recurring contributions accepted. Violations of these new provisions can result in fines of up to $5,000 per occurrence or up to three times the aggregate amount of subsequent recurring contributions received in certain circumstances. The bill takes effect 60 days after enactment.
