Authors: L. Paige Whitaker, American Law Division; R. Sam Garrett, Government and Finance Division 
Abstract: During the 110th Congress, the regulation of political communications on the Internet has not been the subject of major legislative action. H.R. 894 (Price, NC) would extend "stand by your ad" disclaimer requirements to Internet communications, among others. H.R. 5699 (Hensarling) would exempt from treatment as a contribution or expenditure any uncompensated Internet services by individuals and certain corporations.
