Presentation transcript:

Florida’s Political Committee (PC) Political Committee (PC) is Florida’s name for Political Action Committee. PCs took the place of committees of continuous existence (CCEs) in the 2013 Florida election ethics reform legislation.

Political Committee Definition To support or oppose any candidate, issue, PC, ECO, or political party. Political Committees (PC) can collect money and spend it directly on advertising or other campaign expenses for a candidate. Corporations are included in the definition of “persons” allowed to make contributions to a PC. In fact, “person” is defined as an individual, corporation, association, firm, partnership, joint venture, Joint Stock Company, club, organization, estate, trust, business trust, syndicate, or other combination of individuals having collective capacity. The term also includes a political party or political committee (i.e. a PC can contribute to another PC). Unlike contributions directly to a candidate’s campaign, contributions to a PC are not capped. PCs exist separate from campaign cycles, meaning they do not close once an election is over but rather must actively be dissolved.

Florida’s PC Basic Rules The Florida Election Code is comprised of Chapters , Florida Statutes. Chapter 106, Florida Statutes, regulates campaign financing for all candidates, including judicial candidates, political committees, and political parties. It does not regulate campaign financing for candidates for federal office.

Contributions A gift, subscription, conveyance, deposit, loan, payment or distribution of money or anything of value made for the purpose of influencing the results of an election or making an electioneering communication. These include contributions in-kind having an attributable monetary value in any form; A transfer of funds between political committees, between electioneering communication organizations, or any combination of these groups; The payment, by a person other than a candidate or political committee of compensation for the personal services of another person which are rendered to a candidate or political committee without charge to the candidate or political committee for such services; or The transfer of funds by a campaign treasurer or deputy campaign treasurer between a primary depository and a separate interest-bearing account or certificate of deposit. The term includes any interest earned on such account or certificate. Exceptions: 1. Services provided without compensation by individuals volunteering a portion or all of their time on behalf of a political committee including, but not limited to, legal and accounting services. 2. Editorial endorsements.

Contribution Limits PC to a candidate - $1000 per election, except limit to candidates for statewide office or Supreme Court Justice = $3000 PC to a political party – no limit PC to ECO – no limit PC to PC – no limit

Fund Restrictions In-Kind Contributions In-kind contributions are anything of value made for the purpose of influencing the results of an election. The exceptions are: 1. Money; 2. Personal services provided without compensation by individual volunteers; 3. Independent expenditures, as defined in Section (12), F.S.; or 4. Endorsements of three or more candidates by affiliated party committees or political parties. Funds may be used only for PC activity and only for the purpose of influencing the results of an election.
