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 would 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 specify maximum contribution amounts for candidates and political parties, including the previous caps of $2,800 for candidates and $10,000 for state party executive committees. The overall effect of this legislation would be to allow unlimited financial contributions to political committees, thereby significantly altering the landscape of campaign financing in West Virginia.
