S. 5136 — Promoting Authenticity with Influencer Disclaimers Act

This section requires political committees to include a clear and conspicuous disclaimer stating that the communication has been paid for by the committee on any content posted on an internet website, web application, or digital application, effective for communications made on or after January 1, 2027. It exempts content posted on a committee’s own website and content posted by compensated employees on their personal social media accounts (unless posting is the employee’s principal duty), requires the committee to notify the recipient of the disclaimer obligation at the time of disbursement, and directs the Federal Election Commission to issue implementing regulations by January 1, 2027.
