HR 2476
Stops illegal campaign coordination between candidates and outside groups by defining unlawful ties and boosting enforcement to curb covert, blended political spending.
HR 2476, the Stop Illegal Campaign Coordination Act, is a bill introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives on March 27, 2025. The measure has been referred to the House Committee on House Administration. The leadership and sponsor lineup indicates a focus on campaign coordination rules and related enforcement.
Key sponsorship:
- Primary sponsor: Jill N. Tokuda
- Cosponsors: Becca Balint, Pramila Jayapal, Paul Tonko, Ed Case
Based on the bill’s title, the core intent appears to be to prevent or curb illegal or improper coordination between political campaigns and outside groups (such as independent expenditure committees). The exact definitions, scope, and enforcement mechanisms would be specified in the text of the bill, which is not provided in the available information.
The specific provisions of HR 2476 are not included in the information provided. In bills of this type, typical elements to look for would include:
- Definitions of what constitutes “illegal campaign coordination”
- Activities or arrangements that would be deemed coordination (or lack thereof)
- Clarifications of permissible interactions and related exemptions
- Enforcement authority, likely involving the Federal Election Commission (FEC) or other election-related offices
- Penalties or corrective actions for violations
- Disclosure and reporting requirements for campaigns and outside groups
- Safe harbors or transitional provisions for existing arrangements
Note: The above are potential topics based on the bill’s title and common legislative practice; the actual text could differ.
If enacted, the bill could affect:
- Political campaigns and candidates
- Political action committees (PACs) and other outside groups raising or spending for elections
- Vendors, consultants, and contractors involved in campaign activities
- Donors and supporters who contribute to campaigns or independent groups
- Election administration bodies and enforcement agencies (e.g., FEC), which would interpret and enforce any new rules
- State and local election offices, to the extent federal rules intersect with local campaigns
