The purpose of this legislation, known as the "Zeroing Out Money for Buying Influence after Elections (ZOMBIE) Act," is to ensure that former candidates for federal office must disburse all remaining funds from their campaign committees or political action committees (PACs) after an election. This aims to prevent the misuse of leftover campaign funds for lobbying or other purposes that could influence political decisions. Key provisions of the act require that each authorized committee or leadership PAC of a former candidate must distribute all unspent funds by a specified deadline.
