HR 6893

The Scam Pac Act aims to combat fraudulent fundraising practices by prohibiting political committees, specifically ‘scam PACs,’ from disbursing funds to entities owned or controlled by individuals with significant authority over their operations. This legislation builds on the Federal Election Commission’s concerns about these committees, which often mislead donors and funnel money to organizers for personal gain. The bill restricts disbursements to individuals and their family members who have executive or managerial roles, solicit funds, or provide campaign services, while excluding legitimate expenditures and certain types of committees. It seeks to protect donors and maintain the integrity of elections by preventing self-dealing and curbing the proliferation of these deceptive committees.
