(II) OTHERWISE CONDUCT THEIR OPERATIONS AND MAKE THEIR
DECISIONS RELATING TO TRANSFERS AND OTHER CONTRIBUTIONS UNDER THE
CONTROL OF THE SAME INDIVIDUAL OR ENTITY.
(E) MULTIPLE CANDIDACIES.
THE LIMIT ON TRANSFERS TO THE CAMPAIGN FINANCE ENTITIES OF A
CANDIDATE PRESCRIBED IN SUBSECTION (C) OF THIS SECTION APPLIES
REGARDLESS OF THE NUMBER OF OFFICES SOUGHT BY THE CANDIDATE.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 33, § 13-213(a) through (e); and, as it related to
the application of the limits on transfers to an election cycle, §
13-212(a)(3)(i); and, as it related to transfers to a ballot issue committee, §
13-214.
As to the substitution throughout this section of the defined term
"campaign finance entity" for the former references to a "campaign
committee authorized by a candidate", "political committee ... or ...
candidate", and "political committee", for clarity, see General Revisor's
Note to this title and § 1-101 of this article. Similarly, in subsection (c) of
this section, the former references to a "treasurer" are deleted as included
in the reference to transfers by a "campaign finance entity".
In subsection (a) of this section, the reference to a "nonfederal"
out-of-state political committee is added for clarity and for consistency
with the advice provided by the Office of the Attorney General in a Letter
of Advice dated June 4, 1993, from Elizabeth L. Nilson, Counsel to the
State Board of Elections, to Carville B. Collins, Esq.
Also in subsection (a) of this section, the former reference to a political
committee as including "a political committee registered under § 13-202 of
this subtitle" is deleted in light of the use of the defined term "campaign
finance entity".
In subsections (b) and (e) of this section, the word "limit" is substituted for
the former word "limitation" for consistency.
In subsection (b) of this section, the former reference to "the provisions on
affiliations set forth in this subsection" is deleted as irrelevant to the items
excluded from coverage.
In subsection (c) of this section, the reference to any "one" other campaign
finance entity is added for clarity.
In subsection (d)(1) of this section, the term "entity" is substituted for the
former reference to "transferor" to acknowledge the similar manner in
which both affiliated transferors and affiliated transferees are treated as a
single entity under the law. See, e.g., Letter of Advice dated January 4,
2001, from Robert A. Zarnoch, Assistant Attorney General, Counsel to the
General Assembly, to the Honorable Donald B. Robertson, Election Law
Article Review Committee.
