This legislation amends the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to introduce new restrictions and disclosure requirements concerning the use of campaign funds for candidates' family members. Its primary aim is to prevent potential conflicts of interest and ensure greater transparency in campaign finance practices. Specifically, the bill **prohibits** any authorized committee of a candidate or any political committee controlled by a candidate or federal officeholder from directly or indirectly compensating the candidate's spouse for services rendered to or on behalf of the committee, a measure targeting the practice of paying spouses from campaign funds to enhance ethical standards. Additionally, the bill mandates that these committees **disclose** all payments, including direct or indirect compensation, made to the candidate's spouse or any immediate family member, such as children, parents, and siblings. This comprehensive reporting requirement seeks to provide greater public insight into how campaign funds are distributed within a candidate's family. Crucially, if a violation of the spouse compensation prohibition occurs and the candidate or officeholder knew of it, the **penalty** will be imposed directly on that individual, not the committee, and the committee is explicitly forbidden from reimbursing the candidate for such penalties, thereby strengthening individual accountability.
