Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002

Summary

Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2001 - Amends the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 (FECA) to prohibit the solicitation of soft money (not subject to FECA) by political parties and to increase the contribution limit for State committees of political parties and the aggregate individual contribution limit. Prohibits a political party committee from making both coordinated and independent expenditures to a nominated candidate during the election cycle. Requires: (1) every person who makes a disbursement for the direct costs of producing and airing electioneering communications in an aggregate amount exceeding $10,000 during any calendar year to file a statement with the Federal Election Commission; and (2) a coordinated expenditure or other disbursement made by any person in connection with a candidate's election to be considered a contribution to and an expenditure by the candidate. Amends the Federal criminal code to revise the prohibition against campaign fundraising on Federal property. Amends FECA concerning contributions and donations by foreign nationals in connection with Federal, State, or local elections. Increases individual contribution limits if the opposition personal funds amount with respect to a Senate candidate exceeds a specified threshold amount. Amends the Communications Act of 1934 to provide that the charges made for the use of any television broadcast station, or by a cable or satellite television service provider, to any legally qualified candidate for public office in connection with such candidate's campaign shall not exceed the station's lowest charge for time for the same period. Increases the limits on certain individual contributions. Requires disclosure of donations over $200 to a President-elect's inaugural committee. Prohibits foreign national donations to such a committee. Prohibits the fraudulent solicitation of funds. Increases specified penalties for FECA violations and the statute of limitations for certain violations.
