1.  No person shall in any name except his own, directly or  indirectly,
make  a  payment  or  a  promise  of payment to a candidate or political
committee or to any officer or member thereof, or to any  person  acting
under  its authority or in its behalf or on behalf of any candidate, nor
shall any such committee or  any  such  person  or  candidate  knowingly
receive  a  payment or promise of payment, or enter or cause the same to
be entered in the accounts or records of such  committee,  in  any  name
other than that of the person or persons by whom it is made.
  2.  Notwithstanding subdivision one of this section, a partnership, as
defined in section ten of the  partnership  law,  may  be  considered  a
separate  entity  for the purposes of this section, and as such may make
contributions in the name of said partnership without  attributing  such
contributions to the individual members of the partnership provided that
any  such  contribution  made  by  a  partnership to a candidate or to a
political committee, shall not exceed, twenty-five hundred  dollars.  In
the  event  that  such partnership contribution to any such candidate or
political committee exceeds twenty-five hundred dollars,  the  aggregate
amount  of  such  contribution shall be attributed to each partner whose
share of the contribution exceeds ninety-nine dollars.

to a campaign or political committee  by  a  limited  liability  company
shall  be  attributed to each member of the limited liability company in
proportion to the member's ownership interest in the  limited  liability
company.

(b) If, by application of paragraph (a) of this subdivision, a campaign contribution is attributed to a limited liability company, the contributions shall be further attributed to each member of the limited liability company in proportion to the member's ownership interest in the limited liability company.

(c) The state board of elections shall enact regulations that prevent the avoidance of the rules set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this subdivision.
