Uncheck the Box Act
This bill would require federal political campaigns to obtain explicit, active consent from donors before charging them repeatedly for contributions. It prohibits campaigns from using pre-checked boxes or passive actions (like failing to uncheck a box) as valid consent for recurring donations. Campaigns would need to send clear receipts showing the next charge date and provide simple cancellation methods upon request. The law directly affects donors to federal election campaigns and the campaigns themselves, mandating transparent handling of recurring payments.
