To amend the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to prohibit the solicitation and acceptance of a recurring contribution or donation in a campaign for election for Federal office by any method which does not require the contributor or donor to give affirmative consent to making the contribution or donation on a recurring basis, and for other purposes.
This bill (HR 7723) amends campaign finance law to prevent political campaigns from automatically charging donors for recurring contributions without explicit permission. It requires campaigns to obtain active, affirmative consent (like checking a box) before setting up recurring donations - preventing donors from being charged simply by not unchecking a pre-checked box. Campaigns must provide clear receipts showing future charges and include easy cancellation instructions in all communications. The law directly affects federal election campaigns, independent expenditure groups, and electioneering communication funders by changing how they solicit and manage recurring donations.
