Summary:
As of October 11, 2004, 29 bills have been introduced in the 108th Congress to change the nation's campaign finance laws (primarily under Titles 2 and 26 of the U.S. Code). These bills â 20 in the House and nine in the Senate â seek to make improvements in the current system, including to tighten perceived loopholes. In the wake of enactment of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002 (P.L. 107- 155), there has been decidedly less legislative activity in this area than in recent Congresses, which typically saw well over 100 campaign finance-related bills introduced.
