Not later than one year after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Comptroller General of the United States shall— submit to the Select Committee on Ethics of the Senate and the Committee on Ethics of the House of Representatives a report on contributions made to members of the Senate by individuals under consideration for Senate-confirmed positions, including judicial nominees; and provide a briefing to such committees on such contributions. The report submitted under subsection (a)(1) shall include— a review of the frequency and amount of such contributions made to members of the Senate by such individuals, both directly and through political committees and other vehicles with substantial connections to the individual or the member, over the past 5 legislative sessions, and identify the frequency of incidents in which such an individual made such a contribution to a member of the Senate and was then considered or supported by that member for a judicial nomination or other Senate-confirmed position; and recommendations for such legislative and administrative action as the Comptroller General determines appropriate to reduce any undue influence such contributions might exert upon the constitutional advice and consent processes of the Senate.
In this section, the terms contribution and political committee have the meaning given those terms in section 301 of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 ( 52 U.S.C. 30101 ).
