This proposed legislation, known as the Dual Loyalty Disclosure Act , aims to enhance transparency regarding the citizenship status of federal candidates. It requires individuals running for office to disclose if they hold citizenship in any country other than the United States. Specifically, the bill amends the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, mandating that the statement used to designate a candidate's principal campaign committee include this crucial information. If a candidate possesses dual citizenship, they must identify the other country of which they are a citizen. This amendment would take effect immediately upon the bill's enactment.
