political committee, including a political action committee affiliated with
the employer". See General Revisor's Note to this title and § 1-101 of this
article.
In subsection (f) of this section, the former reference to "account" is deleted
as included in the reference to "affiliated political action committee".
In the introductory language of subsection (h) of this section, the phrase
"under this section" is substituted for the former phrase "[f]or purposes of
a payroll deduction for any contribution" for clarity.
Also in the introductory language of subsection (h) of this section, the
former reference to "accumulate [or] transfer" money or anything of value
is deleted in light of the reference to "receive".
In subsection (h)(2)(ii) of this section, the reference to dues, fees, or other
"assessment" is substituted for the former reference to "money" for clarity.
The Election Law Article Review Committee notes, for consideration by the
General Assembly, that neither the notice requirements under subsection
(g) of this section, nor the prohibitions under subsection (h) of this section,
apply to an employee membership entity. This seems somewhat
anomalous.
