Small Dollar Donor Protection Act

HR 8975, the Small Dollar Donor Protection Act, requires political committees to disclose contributions from individuals totaling less than $200 per election cycle - previously exempt from reporting. This change directly affects candidate committees and political organizations that receive small donations, mandating they report both the total amount and number of such contributions. The bill also directs the Federal Election Commission (FEC) to issue compliance guidance within 90 days and conduct a study on deceptive solicitation tactics within 180 days, reporting findings and recommendations to Congress. The policy aims to increase transparency for small contributions without altering the $200 disclosure threshold itself.
