Disclosure
News & Commentary | Archive

BCRA augments existing disclosure requirements and adds new ones. Candidates must personally approve their advertising, making statements of this approval in prescribed form in their radio and television spots. Other reporting requirements are established by way of implementation of the Millionaire's Amendment, so that the FEC, candidates and parties affected by the provision may determine the eligibility of relief provided under this provision. National party committees and candidates are subject to new reporting schedules, and some financial activity previously untouched by the law, such as donations to Inaugural committees, are not subject to disclosure.
