Bill overview
The Zeroing Out Money for Buying Influence after Elections (ZOMBIE) Act aims to prevent the misuse of campaign funds after elections by requiring authorized committees and leadership PACs of former candidates to quickly disburse any remaining funds. Specifically, it mandates that these committees must distribute their unspent money within a set timeframe after an election or before registering as a lobbyist or foreign agent. The bill also includes provisions to restrict how these funds can be used, prohibiting disbursements to relatives of the candidate or certain related non-profit organizations, and requires former candidates serving as lobbyists or foreign agents to certify compliance with these disbursement rules.
