Bill > HR415

This bill, known as the "Stop Act," amends the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to prohibit individuals holding federal office from directly soliciting campaign contributions or funds for federal election activities. Specifically, the bill prevents federal officeholders from directly requesting funds from any person for political committees or for federal election purposes. However, the bill does not completely ban participation in fundraising events; federal officeholders can still plan, attend, speak at, or be featured guests at such events, as long as they do not verbally or in writing solicit funds during these events. The bill also makes a conforming amendment to existing law regarding state and local political party fundraising events, ensuring that federal officeholders cannot directly solicit funds in connection with these events. The new restrictions will apply to any solicitations made on or after the date the Act is enacted, with the goal of reducing the potential for improper influence in campaign financing.
