Also throughout this title, the reference to a "continuing political committee" to
describe a political committee which continues in existence from year to year, are
added for clarity. For the definition of "continuing political committee", see § 1-101 of
this article.
Also throughout this title, the former phrase "including political clubs" is
deleted as redundant and for consistency with the advice provided by the Attorney
General indicating that in all cases a reference to a "political committee" includes a
political club unless expressly excluded. See Letter of Advice dated January 23, 1978,
to the Honorable Donald P. Hutchinson, Maryland State Senate, from George A.
Nilson, Deputy Attorney General. In accordance with this advice, the Election Law
Article Review Committee has deleted all references to "including political club[s]"
and retained specific references to a political club only in those instances where
former Article 33 expressly excluded a political club from a provision that otherwise
was intended to apply to all political committees.
TITLE 14. DISCLOSURE BY PERSONS DOING PUBLIC BUSINESS.
14-101. DEFINITIONS.
(A) IN GENERAL.
IN THIS TITLE THE FOLLOWING WORDS HAVE THE MEANINGS INDICATED.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection formerly was Art. 33, § 14-101(a).
The only changes are in style.
(B) APPLICABLE CONTRIBUTION.
"APPLICABLE CONTRIBUTION" MEANS A CONTRIBUTION TO A CANDIDATE, OR A
SERIES OF SUCH CONTRIBUTIONS, IN A CUMULATIVE AMOUNT IN EXCESS OF $500.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language derived without
substantive change from former Art. 33, § 14-101(e)(l).
The defined term "[a]pplicable contribution" is substituted for the former
defined term "contribution" for clarity and accuracy in order to distinguish
an "applicable contribution" from a regular "contribution". See § 1-101 of
this article.
The phrase "a contribution to a candidate, or a series of such contributions,
in a cumulative amount" is added for clarity and consistency with the other
provisions of this title.
The former reference to a "gift, donation, or payment of money" is deleted
in light of the use of the defined term "contribution". See § 1-101 of this
article and subsection (f) of this section.
