Federal Election Commission v. Akins
Supreme Court of the United States
Decided June 1, 1998No. 96-1590PublishedCited by 846 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtJustice Breyer
The Federal Election Commission (FEC) has determined that the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) is not a “political committee” as defined by the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 (FECA or Act), 86 Stat. 11, as amended, 2 U. S. C. §481(4), and, for that reason, the FEC has refused to require AIPAC to make disclosures regarding its membership, contributions, and expenditures that FECA would otherwise require. We hold that respondents, a group of voters, have standing to challenge the *14Commission’s determination in court, and we remand this ease for further proceedings.
