The House Administration Committee approved legislation June 29 that aims to rein in so-called Section 527 political organizations (H.R. 513). The committee approved the bill with a 5-3 party line vote after approving a substitute amendment by the same vote. The committee reported out the measure without recommendation. The Shays-Meehan legislation, co-sponsored by Reps. Christopher Shays (R-Conn.) and Marty Meehan (D-Mass.) would seek to impose contribution limits on Section 527 groups now claiming exemption from such limits. For more information.
