Glossary Definition:

The Federal Corrupt Practices Act of 1925 (amended 1911 & 1925): This law created campaign spending limits for parties in congressional races. It also required national party committees to file reports of their contributions and expenditures, thus establishing the first public disclosure rules at the federal level. The law tightened the disclosure rules imposed on federal candidate and national party campaign committees (defined as party committees operation in more than one state) by requiring those committees to file quarterly contribution reports. The Act also reaffirmed the contribution and spending limits established under previous federal law, while it increased the spending limit for senatorial campaigns.
