Stop Ballroom Bribery Act

Summary

Prohibits the federal government from accepting or using donations for certain projects, events, or monuments tied to the President, Vice President, their spouses, or children — unless specified approval and oversight requirements are met. It sets definitions for covered projects and donors, requires written determinations by the National Park Service Director with concurrence from the Director of the Office of Government Ethics, mandates transmission of that determination to two congressional oversight committees, and requires publication in the Federal Register before a donation may be used.

• Bars acceptance or use of donations for certain presidential/vice‑presidential properties, events, and monuments unless strict approvals are met.
• Defines key terms (covered project, donation, foreign government, lobbying activities, nonprofit) to set the scope of the restriction.
• Requires a written determination by the National Park Service Director that a donation complies with the law.
• Requires concurrence from the Director of the Office of Government Ethics on that written determination.
• Mandates submission of the determination to two congressional oversight committees and publication in the Federal Register before use.
• Links acceptance/use to existing federal gift and reimbursement authorities plus the new procedural safeguards.
• Targets federal acceptance/use procedures and adds transparency and ethical review rather than creating new funding streams.
• Applies specifically to monuments honoring living Presidents, Vice Presidents, or Presidential appointees, as well as events on specified federal properties.
