Secure Handling of Internet Electronic Donations Act or the SHIELD Act
This bill addresses campaign finance in federal elections.
Specifically, the bill requires political committees, when accepting a credit or debit card contribution over the internet, to collect the credit or debit card's verification value. The card's billing address must be in the United States unless the contributor is a U.S. national or lawful permanent resident living outside of the United States, in which case the contributor must provide his or her voter registration address or identification document (e.g., U.S. passport). The Federal Election Commission must, within 10 days, promulgate regulations related to this requirement.
Additionally, the bill prohibits political committees from accepting a contribution made through the use of a general-use prepaid card, gift certificate, or store gift card.
The bill also prohibits knowingly directing, helping, or assisting any person in making a contribution in the name of another person.
