Prohibit corporations from making direct financial contributions to political action committees.

What’s happening with Ban Corporate PACs Act?
The Ban Corporate PACs Act is stalled in the House Committee on House Administration and the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration as of June 2026. These committees must hold a vote to move the bills forward, but the primary constraint is that most legislation never receives a committee hearing. This lack of action is common because the vast majority of bills introduced in Congress fail to advance past the committee stage.
