The FEC has announced a policy that it wouldn’t enforce any of the now obsolete rules, but Bopp said that isn’t good enough. “Look, how many people out there know that you have policies? Many more would know you have regulations. They’d look at them and assume that they’re still obligated to comply with those,” Bopp told the commissioners.
Labor lawyer Laurence Gold commended the panel for “finally” issuing a draft rule and holding a hearing. “We think it’s very important that the regulations comply with the law so as not to confuse, or chill, those who are regulated, and not to maintain what could be traps for the unwary,” he said.
