Section 19-24-6 - General overhead and other costs

(a) Party committees. Expenditures by a party committee for its own general overhead, salaries and supplies do not constitute reportable in-kind contributions to the candidates of the party. Other expenditures by a party committee which are intended to accrue to the equal benefit of its candidates do not constitute reportable in-kind contributions. In addition, costs associated with the provisions of campaign materials and general advice by a party committee to its candidates do not constitute reportable in-kind contributions to the recipient except to the extent the materials are prepared for a specific candidate or the advice is of a specialized nature and the value exceeds fifty dollars ($50) in any allocable election period.

(b) Affiliated or connected organizations of political committees. Expenditures by an affiliated organization of a political committee, to the extent the expenditures exceed fifty dollars ($50) during an allocable period for the use of office space to a political committee constitute reportable in-kind contributions to the committee. Costs associated with the provision of supervisory personnel, clerical or secretarial assistance constitute reportable in-kind contributions to the extent the costs exceed a value of fifty dollars ($50) during an allocable election period. Where the supervisory personnel, clerks or secretaries volunteer their time and are not reimbursed no in-kind contribution exists. In addition, the provision of office supplies and telephone services by an affiliated organization to its political committee constitute reportable in-kind contributions but only to the extent the value exceeds fifty dollars ($50) during an allocable election period.
