Section 315(a) of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 ( 52 U.S.C. 30116(a) ) is amended by adding at the end the following new paragraph: For purposes of paragraph (1), any bundled contribution to a committee described in section 304(i)(6) that is forwarded by or credited to a person described in section 304(i)(7) (including the agent of such a person) shall be treated both as a contribution made by the person forwarding such contribution or credited with such contribution, and as a contribution made by the contributor.
For purposes of determining the amount of bundled contributions provided by a person to a committee which were received by the person at a fundraising event sponsored by the person, or in response to an invitation to attend a fundraising event sponsored by the person, each person who is a sponsor of the event shall be considered to have provided to the committee the aggregate amount of all bundled contributions which were provided to the committee by all sponsors of the event.
This paragraph does not apply with respect to a contribution made by any individual who is a spouse, parent, child, sibling, father-in-law, or mother-in-law of the person described in section 304(i)(7). Nothing in this paragraph may be construed to prohibit any person from engaging in volunteer activity on behalf of a candidate or from making communications which provide information about the candidate but which do not include the solicitation of contributions or other fundraising activity in support of the candidate.
In this paragraph, the term bundled contribution has the meaning given such term in section 304(i)(8), except that such term also includes a contribution which would be a bundled contribution under section 304(i)(8) if it met the applicable threshold described in section 304(i)(3). . Section 315(a) of such Act ( 52 U.S.C. 30116(a) ), as amended by subsection (a), is further amended by adding at the end the following new paragraph: For purposes of paragraph (1), any contribution made to a committee described in section 304(i)(6) that is solicited by a person described in section 304(i)(7) (including the agent of such a person) shall be treated both as a contribution made by the contributor and as a contribution made by the person who solicited the contribution.
This paragraph does not apply with respect to a contribution made by any individual who is a spouse, parent, child, sibling, father-in-law, or mother-in-law of the person described in section 304(i)(7). . The amendments made by this section shall apply with respect to contributions made on or after the date of the enactment of this Act.
