About
S.2415 is a piece of legislation introduced in the United States Senate during the 115th Congress. Sponsored by Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX), the bill seeks to amend the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 (FECA) by introducing additional disclosure requirements for corporations, labor organizations, Super PACs, and other entities involved in political spending. It aims to enhance transparency in campaign finance by mandating more detailed reporting of contributions and expenditures, particularly those related to electioneering communications. The bill was introduced on February 13, 2018, and reflects Republican efforts to address concerns over dark money in politics while balancing free speech considerations under the First Amendment. It did not advance beyond introduction and died at the end of the congressional session without passage.
