- treats coordinated expenditures, as defined by the bill, as campaign contributions, thereby subjecting them to limits and disclosure requirements;
- applies disclosure requirements for electioneering communications to Internet or digital communications; and
- requires persons paying for political communications to make their best efforts to determine the true source of the funds used.
