Pre-Check Write Review
There are a number of issues related to disbursements with which PASS can be of assistance. For example, is the intended contribution within federal—or, if applicable, state/local— contribution limits? Will the contribution trigger a special report? Some state laws prohibit contributions during a legislative session or within days of an election. Some require that a PAC be registered before a contribution can be made to a state or local candidate. Is all of the information provided that will be necessary for reporting purposes? Are you designating each contribution to the correct election?
