Latest Action · July 27, 2026
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Rules and Administration.
This bill requires political committees to clearly disclose when they pay influencers or other social media users to post political content online. The disclosure must be made in a way that is easily visible to viewers—either through readable text or graphics in video content, or through clearly spoken statements in audio-only content. Political committees must notify the paid content creators about this disclosure requirement at the time they make the payment. The bill creates exceptions for content posted on a political committee's own website and for posts by committee employees on their personal social media accounts where the only cost is their salary, though this exception does not apply if posting on social media is the employee's main job responsibility. The Federal Election Commission is required to issue detailed rules implementing these requirements by January 1, 2027, and the new disclosure rules take effect on that same date.
