(1)(a) The limitation on contributions in RCW 42.17.640 or 42.17.645 shall not apply to a "candidate" as that term is defined in RCW 42.17.020(((8))) when the candidate is contributing to his or her own campaign using his or her own personal funds as defined in WAC 390-17-305.
(b) The limitation on contributions in RCW 42.17.105(8), 42.17.640, or 42.17.645 shall apply to contributions to the candidate from the candidate's spouse, domestic partner or other immediate family members.
(2) ((The limitations on contributions shall apply separately to the contributions made by each spouse.)) Contributions by a husband and wife are considered separate contributions. Contributions by domestic partners are considered separate contributions.
Contributions by emancipated minor children which do not meet these requirements and contributions by unemancipated minor children shall be considered contributions by the child's parents. Fifty percent of the contributions will be attributed to each parent, or in the case of a single custodial parent, the total amount is attributed to ((the)) that parent.
(4) Contributions from a business organized as a sole proprietorship and contributions from the owner of the sole proprietorship shall be aggregated for purposes of determining the limitations of contributions under RCW 42.17.105(8) ((and)), 42.17.640, or 42.17.645.
(5) The limitations on contributions shall apply separately to the contributions made by a partnership, limited liability partnership and limited liability corporation from the contributions made by an individual partner ((except that;)) or member. However, contributions made from or charged against the capital account of an individual partner, or member of a limited liability partnership or limited liability corporation shall be aggregated with the partner's or member's individual contributions for purposes of determining the limitations on contributions under RCW 42.17.105(8) ((and)), 42.17.640, or 42.17.645.
(6) The limitations on contributions in RCW 42.17.105(8), 42.17.640, and 42.17.645 shall apply separately to the contributions made by an entity (corporation, subsidiary or branch, national union and local unions, collective bargaining organizations and local units, membership organizations and local units and other organizations and their local units) ((pursuant to)) unless the ((standards set forth)) criteria in RCW 42.17.660 and WAC 390-16-309 are met.
