Summary
The Campaign Finance Transparency Act reforms the Federal Election Commission's (FEC) enforcement processes under the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971. It revises the standard for initiating investigations and determining violations, allowing the FEC general counsel's determinations to take effect unless overruled by a majority vote within specified timeframes. The bill also establishes judicial review procedures for dismissed complaints, permits interested parties to appear at advisory opinion hearings, extends the FEC's administrative penalty authority permanently, restricts ex parte communications, and clarifies FEC attorney authority in Supreme Court cases.
