FEC Disclosure Loophole Closes On Secret Donors

WASHINGTON -- A court ruling requiring non-disclosing political groups --
including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Koch brothers' Americans
for Prosperity -- to disclose their donors is one step closer to going
into effect after a district court refused to stay its ruling in the face
of an appeal.
.
On March 30, a district court ruled in Van Hollen v. Federal Election
Commission (FEC) that a loophole in FEC rules that allowed certain
independent group campaign efforts to keep private the names of donors was
invalid and needed to be rewritten or reset to the original language.
.
On Friday, the court not only refused to stay the ruling, as requested by
two intervening groups that are appealing the case, the Center for
Individual Freedom and the Hispanic Leadership Fund, but the court also
found that its ruling invalidated the FEC loophole, which required it to
be immediately closed, resetting to the original language in the
McCain-Feingold campaign reform law, known officially as the Bi-Partisan
Campaign Reform Act (BCRA).
.
District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson wrote, "Prior to the promulgation
of the regulation that was struck down, there was a valid regulation in
effect implementing the BCRA's disclosure requirement. ... In light of the
Court's ruling, that regulation now governs the disclosures required under
the BCRA."
.
That language in the McCain-Feingold law required groups spending money on
electioneering communications -- certain campaign ads running 30 days
before a primary election and 60 days before a general election-- to
disclose all donors giving $1,000 or more.
.
The appeal in the case is being made by the two intervenors after the FEC
declined to appeal on Thursday.
