What this bill does
The Sunlight on SuperPACs Act of 2026, introduced in the House of Representatives, would amend the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971. Specifically, it aims to provide additional disclosure requirements for certain communications funded by SuperPACs. If enacted, this bill would require SuperPACs that make independent expenditures or contributions totaling $10,000 or more in a calendar year to list the top three funders of their communications. This list would include the names of the funders and the amounts they contributed, if those contributions were $5,000 or more within the 12 months prior to the communication's disbursement. If a top funder is another political committee, the SuperPAC would also need to list that committee's top two funders.
This bill affects SuperPACs, which are political committees allowed to raise and spend unlimited sums to advocate for or against candidates, but are prohibited from donating directly to campaigns or coordinating spending with them. It also affects voters, as the stated purpose is to provide them with more information about who is funding campaign advertisements to help them make informed decisions. The bill has been introduced and referred to the Committee on House Administration. Its provisions would take effect for communications made on or after January 1, 2027.
