SCHEDULE SET FOR PUBLIC HEARING ON POLITICAL COMMITTEE STATUS |
||
|
WASHINGTON ? The Federal Election Commission will conduct a public hearing
on Wednesday, April 14 and Thursday, April 15. The schedule has been set for
the public hearing and can be found at
http://www.fec.gov/pdf/nprm/political_comm_status/hearing.html. The FEC is undertaking this rulemaking to determine whether the current definition of "political committee" adequately encompasses all organizations that should be considered political committees subject to the limitations, prohibitions and reporting requirements of the Act. A similar review of the definition of "expenditure" and its implications, along with the rules for allocating funds for activities involving both federal and nonfederal elections are also a part of this rulemaking. # # # |
