7-6-205. Contributions made indirectly, anonymously, or under assumed names.

(a) No campaign contribution shall be made to a candidate, a political action committee, an independent expenditure committee, an exploratory committee, a county political party committee, or a political party unless such contribution is made directly to the intended recipient. Provided, it shall be permissible to make a contribution to a candidate's campaign committee instead of directly to the candidate.

(b) No contribution shall be made to or knowingly accepted by a candidate or his or her campaign committee, a political action committee, an independent expenditure committee, an exploratory committee, a county political party committee, or a political party unless the contribution is made in the name by which the person providing the funds for the contribution is identified for legal purposes.

(c) (1) No person shall make an anonymous contribution in support of or opposition to a candidate or campaign committee totalling fifty dollars ($50.00) or more in a calendar year.

(2) An anonymous contribution of fifty dollars ($50.00) or more shall not be kept by the intended recipient but shall be promptly paid by the recipient to the Secretary of State for deposit into the State Treasury as general revenues.

(d) Whenever any person provides his or her dependent child with funds and the child uses those funds to make a contribution to a candidate, the contribution shall be attributed to such person for purposes of applying the contribution limit pursuant to 7-6-203(b).

(e) Campaign contributions may not be made by individuals who are not citizens of the United States or by any other entity which is not organized, existing, or created under the laws of the United States or of any state or other place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States and which does not have its principal place of business in the United States.
