HR 9049 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
To amend the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to require political committees to file separate reports for contributions of $1,000 or more which are received fewer than 20 days before the date of any election in which the committee makes a contribution to, or an expenditure or electioneering communication on behalf of or in opposition to, a candidate or political party in the election, and for other purposes.
Summary
This bill amends the Federal Election Campaign Act to require political committees to file separate reports for large contributions received shortly before an election. Contributions of $1,000 or more received after the 20th day but more than 48 hours before an election must be reported separately when the committee makes contributions or expenditures on behalf of a candidate or political party in that election. The bill requires the Federal Election Commission to develop regulations to implement the requirement within 90 days of enactment. The amendment would take effect for elections occurring 48 hours after the bill's enactment, regardless of whether final regulations are in place. The separate reporting requirement applies to all political committees except those of political parties.
