For-profit corporations would be banned from creating or operating political action committees (PACs) under this bill. Only nonprofit corporations — those with tax-exempt status under section 501(c) of the tax code — would still be allowed to maintain separate segregated funds for political purposes. Existing corporate PACs would have one year to wind down and disburse their remaining balances after the bill takes effect.
