Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Currently, the adherents of any political party in either house of the legislature
may organize a "legislative campaign committee" to support the candidacy of
members of their party for legislative office. Committees other than legislative
campaign committees and political party committees are generally subject to a

limitation upon the contributions that they may make to candidates for legislative
office or to political parties. Legislative campaign committees are subject only to
overall limitations on the aggregate contributions that may be accepted by a
candidate from entities other than individuals.

This bill eliminates the special treatment of legislative campaign committees
under the statutes, thus causing them to be treated in the same manner as other
special interest committees for the purpose of contribution limitations. The bill does
not preclude a committee from utilizing any name it wishes.

Currently, a committee may annually contribute up to $6,000 to a particular
political party, a political party may annually accept up to $6,000 from a particular
committee, and a political party may accept up to $150,000 in contributions from all
committees during any biennium.

Under this bill, the limitation on committee contributions to a particular
political party, and on the annual amount that a political party may accept from a
particular committee, is increased to $18,000, and the aggregate limitation on
contributions that a political party may accept during a biennium from all
committees is increased to $450,000. The bill also creates a biennial cost-of-living
adjustment that causes these contribution limitations to be adjusted quadrennially,
beginning in 2006, in accordance with a formula tied to the "consumer price index"
determined by the U.S. Department of Labor.

This bill prohibits a political party from making contributions exceeding
$10,000 annually to an individual or committee that makes disbursements
reportable under current law independently of any candidate, or to an organization
that make other expenditures for the purpose of making certain mass
communications during the period beginning on the 30th day preceding a primary
for an office and ending on the date of the election for that office, or if no primary is
held, during the period beginning on the 60th day preceding an election for an office
and ending on the date of that election.

Currently, there is no similar provision.

15(8), and (8n) are subject to a biennial adjustment to be determined by rule of the board
16in accordance with this subsection. To determine the adjustment, the board shall,
17in each year that the adjustment is made, calculate the percentage difference
18between the consumer price index for the 12-month period ending on December 31
19of the preceding year and the consumer price index for calendar year 2003.
20Beginning in 2006 and every 2 years thereafter, the board shall multiply the amount
21of each limitation under subs. (1), (1m), (2), (2m), (4), (8), and (8n) by the percentage
22difference in the consumer price indexes. The board shall then add that product to
23the applicable limitation under subs. (1), (1m), (2), (2m), (4), (8), and (8n), round each
24sum to the nearest multiple of $5, and adjust the amount of each limitation to
25substitute the resulting amount. The amount so determined shall then be in effect

1until a subsequent rule is promulgated under this subsection. Notwithstanding s.
2227.24 (1) (a), (2) (b), and (3), determinations under this subsection may be
3promulgated as an emergency rule under s. 227.24 without providing evidence that
