On January 13, the Federal Election Commission (FEC) decided to revise its PAC registration form to explicitly include designations for superPACs and Hybrid Committees.
At its open meeting, the FEC approved a motion instructing the agency’s staff to expand Form 1 (Statement of Organization).
SuperPACs, which are technically independent expenditure-only political committees, and Hybrid Committees, which in turn are committees with separate non-contribution accounts, are currently required to file separate letters along with Form 1 to receive those designations.
The Commission hopes to have the amended form for their review by February 14.
