52 U.S.C. § 30143 — State laws affected
submitted 54 years ago by Pub. L. 92-225 to r/title-52-VOTING-AND-ELECTIONS · 95 words · no verdicts yet
Federal campaign finance law overrides conflicting state law when it comes to elections for federal office. One exception lets state and local party committees use money outside the Act's normal limits and reporting rules to buy or build their own office building, as long as state law allows it.
(a) In general. Subject to subsection (b), the provisions of this Act, and of rules issued under it, override and replace any state law dealing with elections to federal office.
(b) State and local committees of political parties. Despite anything else in this Act, a state or local committee of a political party may, following state law, use exclusively money that is not subject to this Act's bans, limits, and reporting rules to buy or build an office building for that state or local committee.
Subject to subsection (b), the provisions of this Act, and of rules prescribed under this Act, supersede and preempt any provision of State law with respect to election to Federal office.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, a State or local committee of a political party may, subject to State law, use exclusively funds that are not subject to the prohibitions, limitations, and reporting requirements of the Act for the purchase or construction of an office building for such State or local committee.
