Two lawmakers introduced a bill this week that requires stricter reporting of political donors to the Federal Election Commission, a response to the U.S. Supreme Court decision this week striking limits on aggregate campaign contributions.

The legislation would require political committees to notify the FEC within two days when a contributor cumulatively gives more than $1,000 in a calendar year.
