Can corporations and unions contribute to Illinois candidates, and if so, what are their filing obligations?
Corporations and unions may contribute from their treasuries in amounts not to exceed established contribution limits and have no filing obligations. However, if political contributions are solicited by the corporations and unions, filing obligations apply once the $3,000 threshold is met. And if a corporation or union makes expenditures in excess of $3,000 during any 12-month period in support of or opposition to and public official or candidate, it must organize as a political committee.
