Rationale

Risks and Concerns
- The bill may perpetuate the existing system of campaign finance regulations, which limit the freedom of political actors to engage in transactions without government oversight.
- It could potentially create administrative burdens for campaign committees in processing refunds, adding complexity to their operations.
