Schumer-Van Hollen Legislative Framework on Citizens United Includes Sunlight Foundation Recommendations
WASHINGTON, DC - Senator Chuck Schumer and Congressman Chris Van Hollen released a legislative framework yesterday meant to address the potential flood of corporate and union money into the political system as a result of the Supreme Court's decision on Citizens United v. Federal Election Committee (FEC). Senator Schumer and Congressman Van Hollen addressed several critical new reporting and disclosure rules which mirror many of the recommendations that the Sunlight Foundation offered (http://sunlightfoundation.com/policy/documents/comprehensive-disclosure-regime-wake-supreme-court/) just two weeks ago. The Sunlight Foundation renewed its call for disclosures to be electronically filed and publicly available online within 24 hours.
