Corporate BenefitsCivil LibertiesFor-profit companies would lose their PACs — the funds that give money to candidates.
Corporate Benefits
Today a for-profit company can run a PAC. It collects money from staff and gives it to candidates. This bill would let only nonprofit groups do that. The same limit would cover firms with federal contracts.
A corporate PAC already up and running would have to close and pay out all of its money within one year of the bill becoming law. PACs run by nonprofit groups could keep going.
Civil Liberties
Company PACs collect money from executives and other managers who choose to chip in. If the employer could not run one, that way of giving would end.
More about this bill
For-profit companies could no longer run their own political action committees, or PACs. These funds take money from a company's executives and managers, then send it to candidates. Only nonprofit groups could run one. If you work in management at a large company, that giving option would end. The rule would also cover companies that hold federal contracts. A corporate PAC already running would have to close and pay out its full balance within one year. The change would start the day the bill becomes law. For most people, daily life would not change.
