Political Accountability and Transparency Act

HR 9392, the Political Accountability and Transparency Act, would require greater transparency in campaign financing by expanding definitions of campaign communications to include paid digital and internet advertisements. The bill would mandate that organizations making campaign expenditures disclose the top three funders of those ads, with specific requirements for how this information is presented in digital, video, and audio formats. It would also clarify rules for coordinated expenditures between candidates and outside groups, treating certain payments as contributions. These changes would directly affect political committees, campaign groups, and digital advertisers involved in federal elections. The bill's provisions would apply to communications made on or after January 1, 2025, with some sections taking effect immediately upon enactment.
