AI Summary

  • Amends the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to impose contribution limits on Super PACs (independent expenditure committees), subjecting them to the same caps that apply to other political committees

  • Defines "independent expenditure committee" as any political committee that makes independent expenditures or contributions to other independent expenditure committees aggregating $5,000 or more during a calendar year

  • Responds to the 2010 SpeechNow.org v. FEC ruling that eliminated contribution limits to Super PACs, citing a 700% increase in independent expenditures between 2008 and 2020 and more than $4.48 billion spent in 2024 elections

  • Notes that in 2024, the top 1% of individual Super PAC contributors provided 96.94% of all individual Super PAC contributions, with some donors giving over $100 million

  • Takes effect for contributions and independent expenditures made during the first calendar year after enactment
