Bill > H3559

This bill aims to increase transparency around foreign monetary donations in political campaigns. It requires any entity that has funded an "electioneering communication" (a broadcast, cable, mail, satellite, or print communication referring to a candidate or ballot question within 90 days before an election) and has received foreign monetary contributions within the past 2 years to disclose those contributions to the Office of Campaign and Political Finance. The bill also mandates that such electioneering communications include a disclaimer indicating whether the entity is significantly or partially funded by foreign sources. The Office of Campaign and Political Finance is tasked with maintaining a public list of entities that have funded such communications and their foreign contribution disclosures.
