Stop Act

HR 415, the Stop Act, prohibits federal officeholders (like members of Congress) from directly asking individuals for campaign funds for federal elections or political committees. It specifically bans written or verbal solicitation of money for federal election activity, while allowing participation in fundraising events (like speaking or attending) as long as no direct solicitation occurs. The bill amends the Federal Election Campaign Act to clarify these rules, applying to all federal elected officials. The changes take effect for solicitations made after the bill's enactment date.
