New rules would limit who can donate to Presidential Libraries and how much
This bill would put new limits on who can donate to Presidential Libraries and how much. It would ban donations from groups like lobbyists and foreign nationals while a President is in office and for two years after. It would also cap individual donations at $10,000 and require public reports on larger gifts, making funding more open to the public.
Today, there are no federal laws limiting who can donate to Presidential Libraries or how much they can give, and no public reporting requirements. This bill would change that by banning donations from groups like lobbyists, foreign nationals, federal contractors, and anyone not registered as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt group while a President is in office. It would also ban donations from lobbyists, foreign nationals, and federal contractors for two years after a President leaves office. Additionally, it would cap individual donations at $10,000 and require public reports for all donations of $200 or more, making the funding of these libraries much more transparent.
