The Federal Election Commission (FEC) has approved five legislative recommendations. One recommendation is to increase the registration threshold for individuals and small groups involved in political campaigns. The FEC suggests the new threshold for requiring small groups to register as a political committee be raised to $5,000. Currently, individuals can volunteer time and their own travel expenses up to $1,000 before it counts as a contribution, now with a suggested increase to $2,000. Another, recommendation is for the Senate to require electronic filing of campaign finance reports, which has already passed committee (S.223). Read the rest of the recommendations here.
