Rules Hearing To Consider Senate Electronic Filing
by Amanda Adams*, 3/9/2007
On March 14, the Senate Rules and Administration Committee will hold a hearing on S.223, the Senate Campaign Disclosure Parity Act to require Senate candidates to file election reports electronically. Currently House candidates, presidential candidates, party committees, and political action committees are required to do so, while Senate candidates are exempt. BNA Money and Politics ($$) reports that the Federal Election Commission (FEC) is fully in favor of the measure, and FEC Staff Director Patrina Clark is set to testify at the hearing. The very same bill has been introduced during previous legislative sessions but had been blocked.
