Stop Super PAC-Candidate Coordination Act

The Stop Super PAC-Candidate Coordination Act clarifies when payments to political groups count as contributions to candidates. It defines "coordinated expenditures" as payments made in cooperation with a candidate or their committee, including cases where the group was formed by the candidate, the candidate helped raise funds for the group, or the group was managed by someone who worked for the candidate. The bill establishes penalties for violations, including fines equal to 300% of the amount exceeding contribution limits. It repeals current Federal Election Commission regulations on coordination and requires new regulations within 90 days, with the law taking effect for payments made after a 120-day period following enactment.
