Section 18533 - Contributions from Joint Checking Accounts

(a) A contribution made from a checking account by a check bearing the printed name of more than one individual must be attributed to the individual whose name is printed on the check and who signs the check, unless an accompanying document directs otherwise. The document must indicate the amount to be attributed to each contributing individual and must be signed by each contributing individual whose name is printed on the check. If each individual whose name is printed on the check signs the check, the contribution must be attributed equally to each individual, unless an accompanying document signed by each individual directs otherwise.

If the name of the individual who signs the check is not printed on the check, an accompanying document, signed by the contributing individuals, must state to whom the contribution is attributed.

(b) For purposes of this regulation, each contributing individual is a "person" as defined in Section 82047 and is subject to the contribution limitations set forth in Sections 85301 and 85303.

(c) If the individual who signs the check or accompanying document is acting as an intermediary for another contributor, or the contribution is earmarked as provided in Section 85704, this regulation does not apply and Regulation 18432.5 will apply instead.
