No Foreign Election Interference Act

This bill aims to keep foreign money out of U.S. elections by tightening rules on certain nonprofits. If a tax‑exempt nonprofit gives money to a political committee after it has taken any money from a foreign national in the last eight years, it must pay a penalty equal to twice the amount it gave. The bill uses existing federal definitions of “political committee” and “foreign national” to decide what counts. The eight‑year “testing period” ends on the date of the nonprofit’s contribution and does not include any time before the law takes effect.

It applies only to larger nonprofits under section 501(c): those with at least $200,000 in yearly gross receipts or at least $500,000 in assets. The law also coordinates this penalty with tax‑exempt status rules so the penalty can still apply in certain early cases even if the group’s exemption is revoked for this conduct.

• Who is affected: 501(c) nonprofits with $200,000+ in receipts or $500,000+ in assets.
• What changes: A penalty of twice the contribution if they donate to a political committee after taking any foreign money during the eight‑year lookback; terms rely on federal election law definitions.
• When it applies: The eight‑year lookback does not count any time before the law is enacted, so it starts from enactment going forward.
