Rule 189-6-.04 - Maximum Allowable Contribution by Political Committees

Universal Citation: GA Rules and Regs r 189-6-.04
Current through Rules and Regulations filed through March 20, 2024

No political committee shall make, for any election, contributions to any candidate which, when aggregated with contributions to the same candidate for the same election from any affiliated political committees, exceed the per election contribution limits for such candidate as set forth in O.C.G.A. § 21-5-41. Campaign contribution limits on contributions to candidates do not apply to independent expenditures made to influence candidate elections. An independent expenditure is an expenditure for a communication which expressly advocates the election or defeat of a clearly identified candidate but which is made independently of any candidate's campaign. However, an expenditure is "independent" only if it meets certain conditions. It must not be made with the cooperation or consent of, or in consultation with, or at the request or suggestion of any candidate or any of his or her agents or authorized committees. An expenditure which does not meet the above criteria for independence is considered a contribution which is subject to limits.

O.C.G.A. Secs. 21-5-6, 21-5-30, 21-5-33, 21-5-40, 21-5-41, 21-5-43.
