(1) In its 2022 legislative recommendations to 
Congress, the Federal Election Commission unani-
mously identified the ‘‘fraudulent fundraising and 
spending activities of certain political committees 
that are often referred to as ‘scam PACs’ ’’ as a pri-
ority for Congress to ‘‘address, define, and pro-
hibit.’’ As the Federal regulator empowered to en-
force campaign finance laws, the Federal Election 
Commission possesses the requisite technical exper-
tise on political committees to help Congress effec-
tively regulate scam PACs. 
(2) Congress affirms the Federal Election Com-
mission’s description of scam PACs as unauthorized 
committees that mislead contributors by ‘‘[soliciting] 
contributions with the promise of supporting can-
didates, but then disclose minimal or no candidate 
support activities while engaging in significant and 
continuous fundraising. This fundraising predomi-
nantly funds personal compensation for the commit-
tees’ organizers. In many cases, all funds raised by 
this subset of political committees are provided to 
fundraising vendors, direct mail vendors, and con-
sultants in which the political committees’ officers 
appear to have financial interests.’’.
