This section amends Section 324 of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to restrict the solicitation and acceptance of recurring contributions or donations. Solicitations for recurring contributions or donations are prohibited unless the contributor or donor provides affirmative consent. Political committees, individuals funding independent expenditures, and those funding electioneering communications may not accept recurring contributions or donations without affirmative consent. Passive actions, such as failing to uncheck a pre-checked box, do not constitute affirmative consent for recurring contributions or donations. Recipients of recurring contributions or donations must provide a receipt disclosing the terms of the contribution, including the date and amount of the next recurrence. Recipients must also provide information on how to cancel future recurrences in all communications related to the contribution. Upon request, recipients must immediately cancel any subsequent recurrences of the contribution or donation.
