The OMAR Act prohibits political committees from compensating spouses and requires disclosure of payments to family members.
The OMAR Act amends the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to prohibit certain political committees from compensating the spouse of a candidate for services provided to or on behalf of the committee. It also mandates that these committees report any payments made to the spouse or immediate family members of the candidate. The term "immediate family member" includes the son, daughter, parents, siblings, and grandchildren of the candidate. The amendments apply to compensation and payments made after the date of enactment of the Act.
