FLOOR
AMENDMENT EXPLANATION
The Quezada Floor Amendment restores campaign
contribution limits from statute, accounting for the combination of primary
election and general election funding in the bill. It subjects partnerships to
the same campaign contribution limits as individuals. It also clarifies that,
when partnership contributions are subject to individual limits, it is on the
basis of a partner’s share of the financial contribution. It restores the
requirement that contributions from partnership funds must be made in the name
of the individual partners. It also strikes the retroactivity and applicability
clauses.
