A quick definition of BCRA:

The Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (BCRA) is a law that was passed in 2002 to regulate the use of money in federal elections. It bans political parties from using "soft money" contributions, which were previously unregulated, and restricts the use of funds by individuals, corporations, and organizations for election-related communications. The law also requires disclosure of certain information and establishes rules for television broadcasts. The BCRA was challenged in court, but most of its provisions were upheld as constitutional. Overall, the BCRA aims to limit the influence of money in politics and promote transparency in election spending.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: The Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (BCRA) is a federal law that was signed in March of 2002. It bans soft money contributions to political parties and regulates the use of funds by individuals, corporations, and organizations in federal elections. It also restricts the use of "issue advertisements" sponsored by non-candidate organizations and individuals.

  • BCRA bans national parties from soliciting, receiving, directing, transferring, and spending soft money.
  • BCRA prohibits corporations and labor unions from using funds from their general treasuries to sponsor electioneering communications.
  • BCRA defines electioneering communications as any broadcast, cable, or satellite communication which promotes or supports a candidate for that office, or attacks or opposes a candidate for that office.

These examples illustrate how BCRA regulates the use of funds in federal elections and aims to prevent the influence of unregulated money in politics.
