Campaign Transparency Act
HR 5237, the Campaign Transparency Act, eliminates the $200 threshold for reporting political contributions in federal elections. It requires all political committees (including candidates, parties, and PACs) to report the name and address of every contributor, regardless of the contribution amount. This changes the current rule, which only mandated disclosure for contributions exceeding $200. The bill applies to all reports filed after its enactment date. It directly affects how political committees collect and disclose donor information.
