                                                   HOUSE AMENDMENT

                                  Bill No. CS for SB 618, 1st Eng.

    Amendment No. ___ (for drafter's use only)





  1  sufficient funds on deposit in the primary depository account

  2  of the candidate or political committee to pay the full amount

  3  of the authorized expense, to honor all other checks drawn on

  4  such account, which checks are outstanding, and to meet all

  5  expenses previously authorized but not yet paid. However, an

  6  expense may be incurred for the purchase of goods or services

  7  if there are sufficient funds on deposit in the primary

  8  depository account to pay the full amount of the incurred

  9  expense, to honor all checks drawn on such account, which

10  checks are outstanding, and to meet all other expenses

11  previously authorized but not yet paid, provided that payment

12  for such goods or services is made upon final delivery and

13  acceptance of the goods or services; and an expenditure from

14  petty cash pursuant to the provisions of s. 106.12 may be

15  authorized, if there is a sufficient amount of money in the

16  petty cash fund to pay for such expenditure.  Payment for

17  credit card purchases shall be made pursuant to s. 106.125.

18  Any expense incurred or authorized in excess of such funds on

19  deposit shall, in addition to other penalties provided by law,

20  constitute a violation of this chapter.  As used in this

21  subsection, the term "sufficient funds on deposit in the

22  primary depository account of the candidate or political

23  committee" means that the funds at issue have been delivered

24  for deposit to the financial institution at which such account

25  is maintained.  The term shall not be construed to mean that

26  such funds are available for withdrawal in accordance with the

27  deposit rules or the funds availability policies of such

28  financial institution.
