The "Inaugural Fund Integrity Act" seeks to amend the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 by establishing new regulations for presidential Inaugural Committees. A primary goal is to prohibit certain types of donations, making it unlawful for committees to accept contributions from any entity that is not an individual, such as corporations or labor organizations . Furthermore, the bill explicitly bans donations from foreign nationals and prevents individuals from making contributions in another person's name or converting donated funds for personal use. The legislation also introduces a strict limit on individual contributions, capping them at $50,000 in aggregate to an Inaugural Committee, with this amount subject to indexing for inflation in future presidential election years. To ensure greater transparency, committees are required to report individual donations of $1,000 or more within 24 hours, including the donor's name, address, amount, and date. A comprehensive final report detailing all donations over $200 and all disbursements must be filed within 90 days of the inaugural ceremony, providing public oversight of how funds are raised and spent. These provisions are slated to take effect for inaugurations held in 2029 and subsequent years.
