Summary of Bill S 2747

Bill 118 s 2747, also known as the Administrative Fine Program Extension Act, aims to make changes to the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971. The main purpose of this bill is to extend the Administrative Fine Program, which is currently in place for certain reporting violations related to federal election campaigns.

The Administrative Fine Program allows the Federal Election Commission (FEC) to impose fines on individuals or organizations that fail to comply with reporting requirements for campaign contributions and expenditures. This program is designed to ensure transparency and accountability in the electoral process by penalizing those who do not accurately report their financial activities.

If passed, Bill 118 s 2747 would extend the Administrative Fine Program for an additional period of time, allowing the FEC to continue enforcing reporting requirements and holding violators accountable. This extension is seen as necessary to maintain the integrity of the campaign finance system and prevent potential abuses of the electoral process. Overall, the Administrative Fine Program Extension Act is a bipartisan effort to strengthen campaign finance regulations and promote transparency in federal elections. By extending the program, lawmakers hope to deter violations of reporting requirements and uphold the principles of fair and honest elections.

This act extends through December 31, 2033, the statutory authorization for the Federal Election Commission Administration Fine Program. This program provides expedited enforcement for late and nonfiled campaign finance disclosure reports.
