OMAR Act Oversight for Members And Relatives Act
To amend the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to prohibit certain political committees from compensating the spouse of the candidate for services provided to or on behalf of the committee, to require such committees to report on payments made to the spouse and the immediate family members of the candidate, and for other purposes.
HB7304, also known as the OMAR Act, seeks to change how political committees handle payments to candidates' spouses and family members. The bill aims to prevent these committees from paying spouses for services directly linked to the committee's work and to require detailed reporting on such payments.
This bill affects political committees and the immediate family members of candidates who receive compensation from these committees. If passed, it would ensure transparency in financial dealings between political committees and candidates' relatives, potentially impacting how these relationships are managed in future elections.
As of January 30, 2026, HB7304 was introduced and referred to the House Committee on House Administration for further review. The bill is currently in its initial stages, with no further actions recorded yet.
