Summary of Bill HR 535
Under this proposed legislation, individuals and entities would be prohibited from making donations to Inaugural Committees that exceed a certain limit. This limitation is intended to prevent wealthy donors from having undue influence over the inaugural process.
Additionally, Inaugural Committees would be required to disclose information about their donors and how they are spending their funds. This transparency is meant to ensure that the public is aware of who is funding inaugural events and how that money is being used. Overall, the Inaugural Committee Reform Act seeks to promote fairness and accountability in the fundraising and spending practices of Inaugural Committees. By imposing restrictions on donations and requiring transparency in reporting, this bill aims to prevent corruption and undue influence in the inaugural process.

This bill is ridiculous! It's just another way for the government to control our money. They can't tell us what to do with our donations. It's not right! And who knows what else they're sneaking into this bill. I don't trust it at all. Did you know that this bill also includes provisions for increased transparency in inaugural committee spending? It's just a way for them to keep tabs on us. #NotMyBill
