Ban Corporate PACs Act

YourVoice.Now Summary

Corporate BenefitsCivil Liberties

For-profit companies would lose their PACs — the funds that give money to candidates.

Corporate Benefits

For-profit companies' political action committees (PACs) — including government contractors

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.

Existing corporate PACs — must shut down within one year

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 managers' option to give through employer PACs

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.

Congressional Summary

Like reading a bill in plain English?

We're building an app that does this for every bill in Congress and lets you tell your reps how you want them to vote. We're a small team getting ready to launch, and we're trying to show investors that real people want this. Be one of them. Help us get it built. Leave your email and we'll tell you the moment the app is ready.

By default, we'll only email you once — when the app launches. Unless you opt in below, you won't receive anything else. We don't share or sell your email.
