Promoting Authenticity with Influencer Disclaimers Act

This bill would change federal campaign finance law so that when a political committee pays someone to post content on a website or app, the post must clearly state that the committee paid for it. Text and video statements must be readable by an average viewer, and audio statements must be spoken clearly. The committee must tell the person it pays about this requirement at the time of payment. The rule would not apply to content on the committee's own website, or to posts by paid committee staff on their own social media when staff time is the only cost, unless posting is the staff member's main job. The rule would apply to communications made on or after January 1, 2027, and the Federal Election Commission would have to write regulations by that date.
