Abolish Super PACs Act (HR2352)
Current understanding
The Abolish Super PACs Act (HR2352, 119th Congress) is a legislative proposal that would eliminate independent-expenditure-only political committees (Super PACs), which currently may raise and spend unlimited sums from corporations, unions, and individuals to advocate for or against candidates so long as they do not coordinate with campaigns. The bill was introduced and referred to the House Committee on House Administration; no substantive committee action has been taken and no enacted change has resulted. Because Super PACs exist under the post-Citizens United and SpeechNow.org v. FEC constitutional framework, a statutory ban would likely face significant First Amendment challenges.
