Abolish Super PACs Act
Abolish Super PACs Act
Plain Language Summary
# Abolish Super PACs Act Summary **What the Bill Would Do** The Abolish Super PACs Act would eliminate Super PACs (Super Political Action Committees), which are organizations that can raise and spend unlimited amounts of money on political campaigns. Currently, Super PACs must operate independently from candidates and political parties, but they can accept donations of any size from individuals, corporations, and other groups. If passed, this bill would ban these organizations entirely, fundamentally changing how money flows into American politics. **Who It Affects** This bill would impact Super PACs, major donors, candidates, political parties, and ultimately voters. Large donors and wealthy individuals who currently fund Super PACs would no longer be able to use this avenue for political spending.
Candidates and campaigns would lose access to the unlimited funding these organizations currently provide. The general public could be affected by potential changes to the volume and nature of political advertising and campaign messaging. **Current Status** The bill was introduced by Representative Summer Lee (D-PA) and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been brought up for a full vote in the House of Representatives. For the bill to become law, it would need to pass through committee, receive a House vote, pass the Senate, and be signed by the President—steps that have not yet occurred.
