Making a Contribution in the Name of Another

No person may make a contribution in the name of another person or knowingly permit his name to be used to accomplish such a contribution. No person may knowingly accept a contribution made by one person in the name of another. The contributor identified in reports submitted to the Ethics Commission must be the actual source of funds for the contribution.

Violating this restriction is a Class E crime and may subject the violator to civil penalties.
