What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Uncheck the Box Act," aims to amend the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971. It seeks to prohibit the solicitation or acceptance of recurring political contributions or donations unless the donor provides affirmative consent. Under this Act, passive actions, such as failing to uncheck a pre-checked box, will not count as consent. Those accepting these funds must provide clear receipts detailing the date and amount of future recurring payments. Additionally, recipients must include cancellation information in all related communications.
