The Federal Election Commission has struck an agreement to formally loosen its regulations governing campaign spending in response to a pair of major Supreme rulings, the agency’s leadership announced Thursday.

The action follows the landmark 2010 Citizens United decision, and comes five months after this spring’s ruling in the case known as McCutcheon v. FEC.

“We’ve crafted an agreement that will allow the commission and the public to finally move forward, four years after Citizens United,” FEC Vice Chairwoman Ann Ravel said Thursday during remarks at a conference of the Practising Law Institute.

The deal follows months of negotiations between Republicans and Democrats on the six-member FEC, which had been deadlocked on the matter. Ultimately, at least four of the commissioners agreed to support a package of three rule-making measures designed to conform with the high court’s decisions.
