Stop Illegal Campaign Coordination Act

This bill amends the Federal Election Campaign Act to expand the definition of 'coordinated expenditures' between independent groups and candidates or political parties. Under current law, only explicit coordination counts; this bill would treat expenditures as coordinated if they are 'materially consistent' with instructions, directions, guidance, or suggestions from a candidate or party committee, even if those communications are not directly shared with the spender. The bill establishes six factors the Federal Election Commission should consider when determining coordination, including whether communications reference specific candidates, target particular voter demographics, suggest communication methods, or reuse phrases or images from candidate guidance.
