Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a)
				  In the case of a check drawn on a joint checking account, the contributor shall
				  be deemed to be the owner whose signature appears on the check. The check will
				  not be attributed equally or otherwise to other joint owners of the account,
				  unless the check or other accompanying written instrument contains the
				  signature of each contributing owner and information identifying the amount of
				  contribution of each such owner. In the absence of specific instructions to the
				  contrary, the contribution will be allocated equally among all owners whose
				  signatures appear on the instrument. Where the maker of a check drawn on a
				  joint checking account is different from the individual who signs the
				  accompanying written instrument, the Commission shall deem the individual who
				  signs the written instrument to be the contributor of the funds.
(b) In the case of a check drawn on an escrow
				  or trust account, the contribution will be that of the person who is the
				  beneficial owner of the account, and the check or other accompanying written
				  instrument must bear the signature of such beneficial owner.
(c) A partnership as defined in (d) below
				  shall not be permitted to make contributions as an entity. A contribution
				  received by a campaign treasurer and made by means of a check or written
				  instrument drawn on a partnership account shall be signed by a partner or
				  partners and shall be deemed to be a contribution from the partner or partners
				  who signed the check or written instrument by which the contribution was
				  conveyed, or in the case of a contribution of currency, the partner who has
				  conveyed the currency. If the check or written instrument is drawn on a
				  partnership account and is signed by an individual other than a partner, or if
				  it is the intent of the contributor that any portion of the contribution
				  received from a partnership account is to be attributed or allocated to a
				  partner or partners who have not signed the check or written instrument, or in
				  the case of a currency contribution if the currency contribution was conveyed
				  by an individual who is not a partner, the following written information must
				  be received and maintained by the campaign treasurer and accompany the check or
				  written instrument being submitted for match pursuant to
				  19:25-15.1 7:
1. Written instructions concerning the
				  allocation of the contribution amount to a contributing partner, or among
				  contributing partners;
2. A signed
				  acknowledgment of the contribution from each contributing partner who has not
				  signed the contribution check or other written instrument; and
3. Contributor information for each
				  contributing partner as required by
				  19:25-7.1.
