Bill Summary
A BILL To require that the statement required under the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 for a candidate to designate a principal campaign committee include information with respect to whether the candidate is a citizen of any country other than the United States, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill requires candidates for federal office to disclose their dual citizenship status as part of their statement of candidacy under the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971. Specifically, when a candidate submits their official statement designating a principal campaign committee, they must now include information about any citizenship they hold in countries other than the United States. The bill mandates that if a candidate is a citizen of another country in addition to the United States, they must explicitly identify that other country on their campaign filing. This new disclosure requirement will take effect immediately upon the bill's enactment, and aims to provide transparency about potential foreign citizenship for candidates seeking elected office. The bill is relatively straightforward, making a targeted amendment to existing election law to enhance voters' understanding of candidates' potential international affiliations.
