HR 2476 broadens the definition of coordinated spending in federal elections so that outside groups following a campaign's guidance—even publicly posted hints—could be treated as making direct contributions. The FEC would use a checklist of factors to flag likely coordination.
Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
Stop Illegal Campaign Coordination Act is a House bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Referred to the House Committee on House Administration.
Latest action on H.R. 2476: Referred to the House Committee on House Administration.
Who this affects: This bill primarily affects political campaigns, party committees, and outside spending groups like Super PACs, advocacy organizations, and nonprofits that run ads about federal candidates. It also impacts the FEC, which would gain new tools and standards for evaluating coordination claims.
Why this matters: The line between independent spending and coordinated spending is one of the most important boundaries in campaign finance law. Independent expenditures have no dollar limits, while coordinated expenditures are treated as direct contributions subject to strict caps. This bill would move that line significantly, potentially bringing billions of dollars in political spending under tighter regulation and changing how campaigns and outside groups communicate during elections.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
