| 8 | excess of $5,000 to an electioneering communications |
| 9 | organization that makes any coordinated expenditure as provided |

| 13 | national, state, including any subordinate committee of a |
| 14 | national, state, or county committee of a political party, and |
| 15 | county executive committees of a political party, which |
| 16 | contributions in the aggregate exceed $50,000, no more than |
| 17 | $25,000 of which may be accepted prior to the 28-day period |
| 18 | immediately preceding the date of the general election. |
| 19 | (b) A candidate for statewide office may not accept |
| 20 | contributions from national, state, or county executive |
| 21 | committees of a political party, including any subordinate |
| 22 | committee of a national, state, or county committee of a |
| 23 | political party, which contributions in the aggregate exceed |
| 24 | $250,000, no more than $125,000 of which may be accepted prior |
| 25 | to the 28-day period immediately preceding the date of the |
| 26 | general election. Polling services, research services, costs for |

| 28 | consulting services, communications media, and telephone calls |
| 29 | are not contributions to be counted toward the contribution |
| 30 | limits of paragraph (a) or this paragraph. Any item not |
| 31 | expressly identified in this paragraph as nonallocable is a |
| 32 | contribution in an amount equal to the fair market value of the |
| 33 | item and must be counted as allocable toward the contribution |
| 34 | limits of paragraph (a) or this paragraph. Nonallocable, in-kind |
| 35 | contributions must be reported by the candidate under s. 106.07 |
| 36 | and by the political party under s. 106.29. |

| 40 | 99.0955 or s. 99.096, but whose qualification is pending a |
| 41 | determination by the Department of State or supervisor of |
| 42 | elections as to whether or not the required number of petition |
| 43 | signatures was obtained: |
| 44 | 1. The department or supervisor shall, no later than 3 |
| 45 | days after that determination has been made, notify in writing |
| 46 | all other candidates for that office of that determination. |
| 47 | 2. Any contribution received by a candidate or the |
| 48 | campaign treasurer or deputy campaign treasurer of a candidate |
| 49 | after the candidate has been notified in writing by the |
| 50 | department or supervisor that he or she has become unopposed as |
| 51 | a result of an independent or minor party candidate failing to |
| 52 | obtain the required number of petition signatures shall be |
| 53 | returned to the person, political committee, or committee of |
| 54 | continuous existence contributing it and shall not be used or |
| 55 | expended by or on behalf of the candidate. |
| 56 | (5) |
| 57 | (d) An electioneering communications organization may not |
