New registration and reporting rules were added for Political Action Committees, requiring them to open bank accounts and file quarterly reports unless their annual spending is under $25,000.

Reporting requirements for Independent Committees were revised to include specific deadlines for pre-election reports and a requirement to disclose all federal information when using broadcast or digital media.
