Contribution Limits In light of the recent Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling, APOC staff has issued a draft advisory opinion concerning contribution limits. Staff has recommended that the limits in effect prior to those struck down as unconstitutional be revived and adjusted for inflation. Accordingly, under provisions of AS 15.13.374, until the Commission rules otherwise or disapproves the opinion, the individual-to-candidate; and individual-to-non-political party limit is $1,500 per year. The non-political party group-to-candidate; and non-political party group-to-non-political party limit is $3,000 per year. Draft Advisory Opinion 21-09-CD Ballot Measure 2 Effective February 28, 2021, there are new requirements for person that have made, and/or may be making independent expenditures supporting or opposing candidates in Alaska elections. These new requirements affect both the maker of independent expenditures and their contributors. Groups or entities making independent expenditures are required to identify the true source(s) of all contributions received from a single contributor in excess of $2,000 within 24 hours of receipt. [AS 15.13.110(k), eff. Feb. 28, 2021] Persons who contribute in excess of $2,000 to a group or entity making independent expenditures, are required to identify the true source(s) of the money contributed by informing the receiving group or entity of the true source(s) at the time the contribution is made and by filing a statement of contributions report within 24 hours. [AS 15.13.040(s), eff. Feb. 28, 2021] In general, “true source” means the person or legal entity whose contribution is funded from wages, investment income, inheritance, or revenue generated from selling goods or services. A person or legal entity who derived funds via contributions, donations, dues, or gifts is not the true source, but rather an intermediary for the true source. [AS 15.13.400(18)], eff. Feb. 28, 2021] These reports will be filed through the APOC online filing system, accessed via myAlaska.
