11-358]  Contributions to noncandidate committees; limits.  No person shall make contributions to a noncandidate committee in an aggregate amount greater than $1,000 in an election.  This section shall not apply to ballot issue committees. [L 2010, c 211, pt of §2]

 

Case Notes

 

  Contribution limit in this section is unconstitutional as applied to plaintiffs' proposed contributions to an entity that engages in solely independent expenditures in excess of the statutory limit; plaintiffs' motion for preliminary injunction granted.  744 F. Supp. 2d 1075.

  Plaintiffs, who sought a declaration stating that this section was facially unconstitutional at the preliminary injunction stage, would not likely succeed on the merits; this section's limitation appears to be valid as applied to contributions to a noncandidate committee that does not engage solely in independent expenditures; plaintiff's motion for preliminary injunction denied as to this issue.  744 F. Supp. 2d 1075.
