4 Pa. Code § 174.9

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 50, December 14, 2024
Section 174.9 - Clause 2

The $1,000 minimum applies to this clause alone. Moreover, the term "political contribution" here is a generic term used to describe the act of donation to political campaigns by an identifiable social unit, the family. Accordingly, this clause shall be interpreted to refer to one or more donations by members of the unit which in the aggregate exceed $1,000. This means that not only is an individual's contributions aggregated, but the contributions of all the members of the family as well. Otherwise, the intent of section 1605 of the Pennsylvania Election Code as amended (25 P. S. § 3225.1) could be frustrated by spreading one contribution in excess of $1,000 among the members of the family so that each individual contribution would be less than $1,000.
