S 2747 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A bill to amend the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to extend the Administrative Fine Program for certain reporting violations.

S. 2747 extends the Federal Election Campaign Act's Administrative Fine Program for certain campaign finance reporting violations until December 31, 2033. This bill directly affects political committees, candidates, and other entities required to file campaign finance reports with the Federal Election Commission (FEC). The key provision amends Section 309(a)(4)(C)(v) of the Act to replace the 2023 expiration date with a 2033 deadline, ensuring fines can still be assessed for late filings of specific reports. The extension applies only to certain violations, not all campaign finance non-compliance, and maintains the existing fine structure without new requirements.
