This bill proposes an amendment to the Code of West Virginia, specifically section 3-8-5c, which currently imposes limitations on contributions to political committees. The key change introduced by this bill is the removal of all amount limitations on contributions to any political committee, effective July 1, 2025. This means that individuals, political parties, and political action committees will no longer be restricted in the amount they can contribute to these entities.

In addition to the removal of contribution limits, the bill deletes several existing provisions that outline specific contribution caps, including limits on contributions to candidate committees and state party executive committees. The deleted language includes restrictions on contributions of $2,800 to candidates seeking nomination or election, as well as caps on contributions to political action committees and state party committees. Overall, the bill aims to create a more unrestricted environment for political contributions in West Virginia.
