Bill overview

This bill extends the current system for the Federal Election Commission (FEC) to issue administrative fines for late or missing campaign finance reports. Currently, the program was set to expire on December 31, 2023, but this legislation pushes the deadline to December 31, 2033. This allows the FEC to continue using a faster, less formal process to enforce campaign finance regulations, rather than relying solely on lawsuits.
