s 193 5 55343 1235538000 false 1235624400 3 482 3040 This bill, which mirrors <a href="http://www.opencongress.org/bill/110-s223/show">S. 223</a> from the 110th session of Congress, would require the Senate to file their campaign finance forms electronically, rather than in paper forms. The Senate's current system, which involves a lot of mailing, scanning, printing, etc. slows down public disclosure of who is donating money to candidates for the U.S. Senate. Candidates for The House of Representatives and presidency already file their reports electronically.<br><br> In the last session of Congress, the sponsors of this bill brought it to the floor for consideration on several occasions, but it was blocked from an otherwise quick passage by a <a href="http://blog.sunlightfoundation.com/2007/11/14/call-for-ensign-to-stop-obstructing-electronic/">hold</a> from <a href="http://www.opencongress.org/people/show/300040_john_ensign">Sen. John Ensign [R, NV]</a>. With the larger Democratic majority in the Senate this session and the support of many Republicans, it is likely to be passed. 111 300042

2/25/2009--Introduced.Senate Campaign Disclosure Parity Act - Amends the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to require Senate candidates to file election-related designations, statements, and reports in electronic form. Requires the Secretary of the Senate to forward a copy of any electronically filed designation, statement, or report to the Federal Election Commission within one working day (instead of the current two working days) after receiving it.
