Plain-English Summary

Political committees would be required to include clear disclaimers on their advertisements and communications telling voters who paid for the ads, making it easier for people to see which groups are funding political messages. The requirement would apply to various types of campaign communications, helping voters understand the sources behind the political content they encounter. This change aims to increase transparency in campaign spending so the public knows who is behind the ads they see.
