The Campaign Finance Modernization Amendment Act of 2025 seeks to improve transparency and efficiency in the District of Columbia's campaign finance system through several key provisions. It requires political committees to provide additional reporting, revises the definition of "coordination" to include actions by unaffiliated committees, and mandates the Office of Campaign Finance to publish all investigation-related documents online. The bill also establishes a timeline for investigations, prohibits the distribution of manipulated media close to elections without proper disclaimers, and introduces a customer service-oriented approach by providing guides and forming an advisory group to enhance campaign finance processes.

Furthermore, the legislation proposes significant changes to the Fair Elections Program, including raising the certification threshold for certain candidates, revoking certification for candidates who switch races after losing a primary, and ensuring timely disbursement of campaign funds. It also amends the recall process by extending response times for elected officials and specifying petition requirements for political committees. The bill emphasizes transparency in political advertising by requiring clear disclosures for media altered by artificial intelligence or digital technology, imposing civil penalties for non-compliance, and addressing the handling of surplus campaign funds related to recall efforts. Overall, the Act aims to modernize campaign finance laws to promote fairness, transparency, and accountability in the electoral process.
