HR 7799 – The SPONSOR Act

Title: Stop Proxy Organizations Nurturing Subversive Operations and Riots Act (SPONSOR Act)

Status: Introduced (House) – no further actions yet.

Date Introduced: March 4, 2026

Sponsor: Rep. Nathaniel Moran

Related Bill: S 3942 (companions in the Senate)

Purpose & Intent

The SPONSOR Act is a new piece of legislation that seeks to address the role of “proxy” or front groups that allegedly facilitate or fund subversive activities, civil unrest, or riots. Its main goal is to curtail the influence and reach of such organizations in order to promote public safety and national security.

Key point: The bill is framed as a preventative measure against entities that the authors believe act as intermediaries for disruptive or violent actions.

(Limited) Provisions & Changes

The text of the bill, as publicly available, only includes its citation clause—there are no parsed sections, definitions, penalties, or procedural mechanisms listed in the official record yet. Because of this, the specific regulatory or enforcement tools the Act would provide are not yet disclosed.

Implication: Until the House Committee on Ways and Means takes up the bill, constituents and stakeholders will not know whether it introduces new reporting requirements, criminal sanctions, or administrative oversight.

Affected Parties

Because the text is still nascent, the precise scope—especially which entities are defined as “proxy” and what behaviors are prohibited—remains unclear.

Bottom Line

Stakeholders should monitor the Ways and Means Committee’s work for clarifying details, potential amendments, and the eventual speak‑out date.
