FEC adopts rules for some campaign travel

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20 (UPI) -- The Federal Election Commission Friday approved revised rules for regulating U.S. campaign travel on non-commercial flights.

The rules adopted Friday require presidential, vice presidential and Senate candidates, along with their authorized committees, to pay charter rates for campaign travel on most non-commercial flights, the commission said in a release. Payments for travel on behalf of other political committees was unchanged.

House of Representatives candidates, their authorized committees and their leadership political action committees generally are barred from making expenditures for travel on most non-commercial flights, the FEC said.
