Latest version.
  • 1.
      Participating  committees  may  accept  contributions   from   political
      committees  that  choose to register with the board, as provided in this
      section. The board shall issue rules providing  for  such  registration.
      Such  contributions may not exceed the amount applicable under paragraph
      (f) of subdivision one of section 3-703 of this chapter. The board shall
      regularly publish a cumulative list of political  committees  that  have
      registered,  including  on  the  internet  and  in  periodic mailings to
      candidates.
        2.  It  is  the  responsibility  of  the  participating  candidate  to
      determine  whether  he or she may accept a contribution pursuant to this
      section. A participating candidate who receives a  contribution  from  a
      political  committee  that  has  not  registered with the board prior to
      making the contribution shall either  return  the  contribution  to  the
      contributor  or  pay  to  the  fund an amount equal to the amount of the
      contribution, unless the political committee registers  with  the  board
      within  ten  days  after  the publication of the next subsequent list of
      registered political committees by the  board  following  the  date  the
      contribution is received.
