(a) No person, other than an individual, a professional corporation that includes only one individual or a political party, shall make a contribution to any candidate or controlled committee; provided, however, that this section shall not apply to contributions made to a committee which is organized solely for the purpose of supporting or opposing the qualification for the ballot or adoption of one or more County measures. If the contribution is made by a professional corporation that includes only one individual, that individual shall not make any contribution in that person's individual capacity which, if combined with the contributions made as a professional corporation, would exceed the individual contribution limit as set forth in section 32.923.
(b) No officer, employee, agent or attorney or other representative of a person covered by this division shall aid, abet, advise or participate in a violation of this section.
(c) No person shall knowingly accept a payment or contribution made in violation of this section.
(d) If a campaign treasurer is offered a contribution which would be in excess of the limitation, the treasurer must refuse the contribution. If, however, a contribution which is in violation of this section is deposited into the campaign trust account, he shall report in writing within five (5) days of the receipt of the contribution to the Enforcement Authority the facts surrounding such payment or contribution.
