FEC's New 3L Form Targets Campaign Bundlers
The 3L form is the latest and greatest hit from those star-makers at the FEC. The purpose of this filing is to track bundled contributions forwarded by, or created by lobbyist and PACs. Here is the actual 3L form for your PDF downloading, form-filling enjoyment.
Who does it affect?
The 3L is designed to disclose bundled contributions from
- lobbyist/registrants, or
- lobbyist/registrant PACs
who contribute in excess of $16,000 during a filing (or coverd) period.
What is a "filing period?"
House and Senate candidates - your filings are quarterly: April 15, July 15 and Jauary 31. Quarterly reports filed on July 15 and January 31 must also include total reportable bundled contributions for the semi-annual covered periods of January 1 through June 30, and July 1 through December 31, respectively. Reports for the 12-Day Pre-Election covered period include activity from the day after the closing date of the last report filed through the 20th day before the election and are filed no later than the 12th day before any primary or general election in which the candidate seeks election. Reports for the 30-Day Post-General Election covered period include activity from the day after the closing date of the last report filed through the 20th day after the election and are filed no later than 30 days after the general election.
Party Committees, Leadership PACS, and Presidential Committees - You file your 3Ls at the same time as you file your Form 3X but... if you file your 3X monthly, you have the option of filing your 3L quarterly. Now isn't that easy to remember?
Thanks FEC for another great form!
