S. 5331 · 117th Congress
Campaign Finance Transparency Act
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 117th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.
No cosponsors.
This bill revises provisions regarding the Federal Election Commission (FEC), including to (1) modify the process for the FEC to initiate an investigation, (2) extend permanently the FEC's administrative penalty authority, and (3) provide statutory authority for limitations on ex parte communications as applied to FEC members and employees.
