The "Stop Ballroom Bribery Act" seeks to prevent corruption by establishing stringent restrictions on donations related to public property, events, and monuments connected to the President, Vice President, or their families and appointees. It defines a "covered project" broadly to include maintenance, construction, or enhancement of properties like the White House and Naval Observatory, federal monuments honoring living or former high-ranking officials, and events hosted at these locations. A "donation" encompasses any gift, bequest, or service of value, whether direct or indirect. The bill mandates that any donation for a covered project must receive written approval from the Director of the National Park Service, with concurrence from the Director of the Office of Government Ethics, after determining compliance with all restrictions. This determination must be submitted to Congress and published in the Federal Register. Crucially, donations are prohibited from individuals or entities involved in litigation or investigations with the federal government, seeking contracts or grants, engaged in executive branch lobbying, requesting presidential pardons, or seeking federal appointments. Further restrictions include a ban on soliciting donations by Executive Office personnel, including the President and Vice President, or their spouses and children. Donations from foreign governments require Congressional approval. Post-donation rules prohibit displaying donor names or logos at project locations and impose a two-year "cooling-off period" during which donors cannot engage in lobbying activities directed at the executive branch. Donations cannot be converted to personal use, and leftover funds cannot directly benefit the President, Vice President, or their families or staff. To ensure transparency, donors must disclose meetings or communications with the President, Vice President, or other officials within a specified timeframe around the donation date. The National Park Service is required to publish quarterly reports detailing accepted donations, including donor identities for contributions over $200, and information on disclosed meetings. The bill explicitly prohibits "straw donations" and anonymous contributions, and requires attestations from donors affiliated with prohibited entities. Violations carry significant civil and criminal penalties, including fines, imprisonment, and disgorgement of benefits, with enforcement powers granted to the Office of Government Ethics, the Attorney General, and State Attorneys General.
