Bill > HR8399

This bill amends the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to further restrict contributions of foreign nationals in American elections. The key provisions are: 1. Expanding the ban on foreign national contributions to include donations for voter registration, ballot collection, voter identification, get-out-the-vote activities, public communications referencing political parties, and election administration. 2. Prohibiting individuals from knowingly aiding or facilitating violations of the foreign money ban. 3. Defining "indirect contributions" to include donations to intermediaries that are used for the restricted activities. 4. Providing enforcement mechanisms, including allowing certifications under penalty of perjury as a defense against allegations of violations. 5. Requiring reporting certifications from political committees, political parties, and independent spenders that they have complied with the foreign money ban. The bill also includes provisions to protect the privacy of donors to tax-exempt organizations by restricting the collection and disclosure of donor information by the federal government, subject to certain exceptions.
