Disclosure requirements

Federal law now bars national party committees from raising or spending nonfederal funds and regulates certain state-party activity connected to federal elections. The older label does not turn all modern outside spending into party soft money. A current analysis should identify the actor, account, recipient, and use rather than rely on the slogan.

Disclosure and disclaimers provide different kinds of information. Reports can identify receipts, contributors covered by the governing rule, expenditures, dates, and recipients. A disclaimer printed or spoken in a communication identifies who paid and whether a candidate authorized it.

Disclosure serves voter-information, enforcement, and anti-circumvention interests, but it can burden privacy and association. Courts may consider a demonstrated threat of harassment while treating disclosure differently from a cap on spending. Duties also depend on the organization and communication.
