Contact Congress about H.R. 2352: Abolish Super PACs Act

This bill would end unlimited donations to Super PACs by applying the same federal contribution caps that already apply to other political committees.

Who this affects: This mainly affects Super PACs (independent expenditure committees) and the people and organizations that fund them, because donations to these groups would be capped under existing federal limits. It also affects political committees that run independent spending through special separate accounts, since those accounts would be covered once they cross the bill’s $5,000 trigger. The Federal Election Commission (FEC), the agency that enforces federal campaign finance law, would have to apply and likely clarify how these rules work in practice.

Why this matters: Super PACs have been able to take unlimited donations, and this bill would change that by putting them under existing federal contribution caps. That could shift how money is raised and spent on independent ads and messaging in federal elections, but the bill itself does not quantify how big that shift would be. The debate is likely to focus on concerns about access and influence from very large donations versus concerns about limiting political spending that courts have treated as protected speech and association.

Key provisions in H.R. 2352

• Puts Super PACs—called “independent expenditure committees,” meaning groups that spend independently of candidates—under the existing federal caps on how much can be contributed.
• A political committee becomes an independent expenditure committee once it hits at least $5,000 in a year in independent spending or gives at least $5,000 total to other independent expenditure committees.
• The limits apply to an entire committee and also to any separate account inside a committee if that account is used for independent spending or for funding other independent expenditure committees.
• Edits the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to add independent expenditure committees to the contribution-cap rule in section 315(a)(1)(C) (the part that sets limits for giving to political committees).
• The change kicks in for contributions and independent expenditures made during the first full calendar year after the bill is enacted, and every year after that.
