The Abolish Super PACs Act Introduced in U.S. Senate

On May 20, Sen. Bernie Sanders introduced The Abolish Super PACs Act into the U.S. Senate. Senate Bill 4602 would amend the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to limit contributions to independent expenditure-only political action committees (super PACs) to $5,000 per individual per calendar year. Sanders asserts that the cap would effectively abolish the financial power and influence of super PACs in elections. The effective date would begin on the first calendar year after enactment of the legislation.
