Hearing Agenda Set for FEC Electioneering Rulemaking

The Federal Election Commission (FEC) will hold a hearing spanning two days and hear from 15 witnesses as part of a rulemaking to incorporate the Supreme Court's recent decision in Wisconsin Right to Life v. FEC. The FEC announced the agenda for the hearing yesterday. On Oct. 17-18 the FEC will consider the notice outlining a proposed rulemaking issued in August which put forth two alternatives to interpret the Court's decision. OMB Watch submitted comments, and for more information, see this article from the latest Watcher. During the hearing, some witnesses will be calling on the FEC to not require disclosure of those who fund the ads and will hear from those who want the disclosure requirement left intact. For a list of those who will be testifying, see the FEC agenda.
