Political Accountability and Transparency Act

This bill restricts the use of certain political funds and revises requirements for political communications. Specifically, the bill

• prohibits the personal use of political committee funds;
• treats coordinated expenditures, as defined by the bill, as campaign contributions, thereby subjecting them to limits and disclosure requirements;
• applies disclosure requirements for electioneering communications to Internet or digital communications; and
• requires persons paying for political communications to make their best efforts to determine the true source of the funds used.
