Campaign contribution limits; civil penalty. Prohibits persons and committees from making any single contribution, or any combination of contributions, that exceeds $5,600 to any one candidate for any elected office in any one election cycle, of which no more than $2,800 may be contributed for the primary election or other nominating event for the office the candidate is seeking. Contributions made on or prior to the date of the primary election or nominating event shall be subject to the contribution limits for the primary election or other nominating event, unless designated by the contributor as a contribution for the general election. No limits are placed on contributions made by the candidate or the candidate's family to the candidate's campaign. Civil penalties for violations of the limits may equal up to two times the excess contribution amounts.
