FEC Approves Interim Final Rule on Independent Expenditures
At its meeting on June 8, 2022, the Federal Election Commission approved and adopted a proposed Interim Final Rule to revise 11 C.F.R. § 109.10(e)(1)(vi). The regulation, as currently written, requires “[t]he identification of each person who made a contribution in excess of $200 to the person filing such report [of independent expenditures exceeding $250 in a calendar year], which contribution was made for the purpose of furthering the reported independent expenditure.” In 2018, the U.S. District Court for the D.C. Circuit found that the regulation was invalid because it impermissibly narrowed the requirements of the underlying statute, 52 U.S.C. 30104(c)(2)(C). In 2020, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit upheld that ruling. This Interim Final Rule amends the statute to comply with these rulings by removing the clause "which contribution was made for the purpose of furthering the reported independent expenditure."

Supreme Court Releases Opinion in FEC v. Ted Cruz
On May 16, 2022, the United States Supreme Court released its opinion in FEC v. Ted Cruz for Senate, et. al. In a 6- 3 ruling, the Court found that a provision of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002, which caps at $250,000 the amount of funds a candidate's authorized campaign committee receives post-election that can be used to repay a personal loan the candidate made to the committee, is unconstitutional because it violates candidates and their campaigns' First Amendment rights.
