SANTOS Act

HR 350, the SANTOS Act, requires candidates for the U.S. House of Representatives or Senate to disclose their educational background, military service (if any), and employment history as part of their official campaign filings. This directly affects all federal election candidates by mandating these specific personal details be included in their required campaign designations. Candidates who knowingly provide false information about these details face penalties of up to $100,000 in fines, one year in prison, or both. The law applies to elections held on or after its enactment date.
