The SHINE Act (Stopping Hidden Interests and Non-disclosure in Elections Act) amends federal election law to require political committees to file separate reports when they receive contributions of $1,000 or more within 20 days before an election in which they plan to spend money supporting or opposing a candidate or political party. The bill affects political committees, donors, and the Federal Election Commission, which must create rules to implement the requirement within 90 days of the law's enactment. The legislation aims to increase transparency by ensuring that large last-minute contributions to political committees are separately disclosed and tracked. The new reporting requirement would take effect after the 48-hour period following the law's enactment, and would apply to all subsequent elections regardless of whether the Federal Election Commission has finished writing its implementing regulations. No specific funding is allocated in the bill, as it primarily establishes new disclosure requirements rather than creating funded programs.
