Section 19:25-10.8 - Prohibition of anonymous contributions and of contributions in the name of another

(a) No contribution shall be made by a person or received by a candidate, candidate committee, joint candidates committee, political committee, continuing political committee, political party committee, legislative leadership committee, or independent expenditure committee on an anonymous basis, that is without making known, or knowing, the identity of the person making the contribution, or in a fictitious name, or by one person or group in the name of another, and no person shall contribute or purport to contribute to any candidate, candidate committee, joint candidates committee, political committee, continuing political committee, political party committee, legislative leadership committee, or independent expenditure committee, any funds or property not actually belonging to him or her and in his or her full custody and control, or which have been given or furnished to him or her by any other person or group for the purpose of making a contribution thereof.

(b) A contribution shall not be deemed anonymous if the identity of the contributor was known to the candidate, candidate committee, joint candidates committee, political committee, continuing political committee, political party committee, legislative leadership committee, or independent expenditure committee, or to the treasurer or organizational treasurer of such committee, at the time when the contribution was received, even though the committee or treasurer may later be unable to identify the contributor because of loss or destruction of records. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to prevent the Commission from imposing a penalty pursuant to the Act or this chapter for failure to keep proper records.

(c) A group contribution, that is a contribution made collectively by persons who are members of the contributing group, shall not be deemed an anonymous contribution by any individual member of the group.
