What this bill would do

H.R. 10825 is known as the Stop Illegal Super PAC Coordination Act. This bill stops certain joint fundraising committees from paying for media. Specifically, it applies to joint fundraising committees that include federal candidates and independent expenditure-only political committees. These groups are banned from paying for broadcasts, cable, satellite, or paid communications on websites, digital devices, applications, and advertising platforms. If a committee breaks this rule, the payment is treated as a coordinated contribution to the candidate. The bill goes into effect on the date it is enacted.
