Law

This bill, introduced by Representatives Subramanyam and Bilirakis, aims to close a loophole in election laws by making it illegal to help foreign citizens donate money to American political campaigns.
While it is already illegal for foreign nationals to give money to U.S. elections, this change would specifically punish any person who knowingly helps or assists them in breaking that rule.
The goal is to prevent foreign influence in U.S. elections by targeting the middlemen or advisors who might try to funnel foreign money into the political system.
If passed, these new rules would apply to any donations or contributions made from the day the bill becomes law moving forward.
