Can a Chapter donate to the CLMA PAC?
No. Federal election law prohibits a Chapter from using its general treasury funds to make a contribution to the CLMA PAC or to any other types of political committees or candidates. A Chapter may, however, pay any administrative expenses associated with raising money for the CLMA PAC. For example, a Chapter may pay for the food or drink expenses associated with CLMA PAC fundraising activities. There are no dollar limits on disbursements made for operating and raising money for a PAC, and they are not reported to the Federal Election Commission (FEC).
