Prior Approval Reform Act

HR 1399, the Prior Approval Reform Act, removes a requirement in federal election law that previously mandated prior approval for certain political solicitations. It amends Section 316(b)(4)(D) of the Federal Election Campaign Act by deleting the phrase "to the extent that and all that follows," effectively eliminating the need for pre-approval. This change applies to all solicitations made on or after January 1, 2025, directly affecting political campaigns and committees that conduct fundraising under this provision. The bill makes a procedural adjustment to streamline fundraising processes without altering substantive campaign finance rules.
