What this bill would do

The Prior Approval Reform Act aims to change the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971. It expands how trade associations can ask for contributions from stockholders and the executive or administrative staff of member corporations. This is done by removing the requirement for prior approval. These changes apply to solicitations made on or after January 1, 2025.
