Amend the bill further, Section 8-13-1313, as contained in SECTION 1, page 2, by adding Item (7) at the end to read:
/ (7) For the purposes
of item (6) of this section, a donation to the person or entity
making the independent expenditure or electioneering
communication is deemed to have been donated to further the
independent expenditure or electioneering communication if any
of items (1) through (4) of this section apply. For purposes of
this section, the "filer" is the person or entity
making the independent expenditure or electioneering
communication and responsible for filing the report, or an agent
of that person or entity. For purposes of this section, the
"donor" is the person or entity donating to the filer
the funds or other thing of value, or an agent of that person or
entity.
(a)
The donor designates, requests, or suggests that the
donation be used for an independent expenditure or
electioneering communication or for multiple independent
expenditures or electioneering communication, and the filer
agrees to use the donation for an independent expenditure or
electioneering communication.
(b)
The filer expressly solicited the donor for a donation for
making or paying for an independent expenditure or
electioneering communication.
(c)
The donor and the filer engaged in substantial written or
oral discussion regarding the donor's making, donating, or
paying for an independent expenditure or electioneering
communication.
(d)
The donor or the filer knew or had reason to know of the
filer's intent to make independent expenditures or
electioneering communications with the donation.
A donation must not be deemed to be made to
further an independent expenditure or electioneering
communication if the donation was a commercial transaction
occurring in the ordinary course of business between the donor
and the filer unless there is affirmative evidence that the
amounts were donated to further an independent expenditure or
electioneering communication. In determining the amount of a
donation that was made to further a particular independent
expenditure or electioneering communication, there must be
excluded any amount that was designated by the donor with
respect to a different election than the election that is the
subject of the independent expenditure or electioneering
communication covered by the report. /
Amend the bill further, section 8-13-1300(35)(A)(1), as contained in section 2, page 2, by striking lines 36 through 37 and inserting:
/ (1) Refers to a clearly identified candidate for elected office or ballot measure; and /
Renumber sections to conform.
Amend title to conform.
