Latest action on S. 2300: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects Presidential Libraries and Centers, the groups that raise money for them, and donors who want to support them. It matters most for donors with direct ties to federal power, foreign interests, government contracts, lobbying, or presidential pardons.

Why this matters: This bill matters because money for a President’s library can come from people with interests before that President. The bill would limit that money and make more donor information public. It could reduce the risk of special access through large gifts. It could also make it harder for libraries and centers to raise enough money for buildings, exhibits, archives, and programs.

Key provisions in S. 2300

• The bill covers groups that raise money for presidential archives. It also covers related private museums, foundations, and centers that honor a President.
• Most valuable help would count as a donation. This includes paid services given for free, but not unpaid volunteer work by individuals.
• During a presidency, libraries and centers could not ask for or accept most donations except from 501(c)(3) charities, which are tax-exempt nonprofits. They also could not take gifts from lobbyists, foreign agents, federal contractors, foreign nationals, or people seeking or holding a pardon from that President.
• Restricted donors could not give or promise these donations. The same timing rules would apply to them.
• Some donor bans would continue for two years after the President leaves office. Lobbyists, foreign agents, federal contractors, foreign nationals, and people tied to pardon requests or pardons from that President still could not give or promise donations.
