must be offset in an equitable manner by an equivalent reduction within the administrative divisions of the legislative branch
and executive branch agencies. This section may not affect the funds distributed to the Local Government Fund under Title
30-A, section 5681.
If the commission determines that the fund will not have sufficient revenues to cover the likely demand for funds from the

received on or before January 1, 2007 pursuant to this paragraph;
(2) Up to $2,000,000 no later than July 31, 2006, reflecting an advance of the transfer of the amounts that would be received
on or before January 1, 2008 pursuant to this paragraph; and

be received on or before January 1, 2005 pursuant to this paragraph;
[2003, c. 673, Pt. EE, §1 (amd).]
C. Revenue from a tax checkoff program allowing a resident of the State who files a tax return with the State Tax Assessor
to designate that $3 be paid into the fund. If a husband and wife file a joint return, each spouse may designate that $3
be paid. The State Tax Assessor shall report annually the amounts designated for the fund to the State Controller, who shall
transfer that amount to the fund;
[1999, c. 4, Pt. H, §1 (amd).]
D. Seed money contributions remaining unspent after a candidate has been certified as a Maine Clean Election Act candidate;

has lost a primary election or after all general elections;
[IB 1995, c. 1, §17 (new).]
F. Other unspent fund revenues distributed to any Maine Clean Election Act candidate who does not remain a candidate throughout
a primary or general election cycle;

3. Determination of fund amount. By September 1st preceding each election year, the commission shall publish an estimate of revenue in the fund available
for distribution to certified candidates during the upcoming year's elections and an estimate of the likely demand for clean
elections funding during that election. The commission may submit legislation to request additional funding.

from the most recent applicable elections.
[2003, c. 688, Pt. A, §21 (amd).]
9. Matching funds. When any campaign, finance or election report shows that the sum of a candidate's expenditures or obligations, or funds
raised or borrowed, whichever is greater, alone or in conjunction with independent expenditures reported under section 1019-B,
exceeds the distribution amount under subsection 8, the commission shall issue immediately to any opposing Maine Clean Election
Act candidate an additional amount equivalent to the reported excess. Matching funds are limited to 2 times the amount originally
distributed under subsection 8, paragraph A, C, E or F, whichever is applicable.
[2003, c. 688, Pt. A, §22 (rpr).]
10. Candidate not enrolled in a party. An unenrolled candidate certified by April 15th preceding the primary election is eligible for revenues from the fund in
the same amounts and at the same time as an uncontested primary election candidate and a general election candidate as specified

contributions is 5:00 p.m. on June 2nd preceding the general election. An unenrolled candidate certified after April 15th
at 5:00 p.m. is eligible for revenues from the fund in the same amounts as a general election candidate, as specified in subsections
7 and 8.
[2001, c. 465, §6 (amd).]
11. Other procedures. The commission shall establish by rule procedures for qualification, certification, disbursement of fund revenues and return
of unspent fund revenues for races involving special elections, recounts, vacancies, withdrawals or replacement candidates.
[IB 1995, c. 1, §17 (new).]
12. Reporting; unspent revenue. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, participating and certified candidates shall report any money collected, all
campaign expenditures, obligations and related activities to the commission according to procedures developed by the commission.
Upon the filing of a final report for any primary election in which the candidate was defeated and for all general elections
that candidate shall return all unspent fund revenues to the commission. In developing these procedures, the commission shall
utilize existing campaign reporting procedures whenever practicable. The commission shall ensure timely public access to
campaign finance data and may utilize electronic means of reporting and storing information.
[IB 1995, c. 1, §17 (new).]
13. Distributions not to exceed amount in fund. The commission may not distribute revenues to certified candidates in excess of the total amount of money deposited in the
fund as set forth in section 1124. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter, if the commission determines that
the revenues in the fund are insufficient to meet distributions under subsections 8 or 9, the commission may permit certified
candidates to accept and spend contributions, reduced by any seed money contributions, aggregating no more than $500 per donor
per election for gubernatorial candidates and $250 per donor per election for State Senate and State House candidates, up
to the applicable amounts set forth in subsections 8 and 9 according to rules adopted by the commission.

been granted certification as a Maine Clean Election Act candidate or other interested persons may challenge a certification
decision by the commission as follows.
A. A challenger may appeal to the full commission within 7 days of the certification decision. The appeal must be in writing
and must set forth the reasons for the appeal.

B. Within 5 days after an appeal is properly made and after notice is given to the challenger and any opponent, the commission
shall hold a hearing. The appellant has the burden of providing evidence to demonstrate that the commission decision was
improper. The commission must rule on the appeal within 3 days after the completion of the hearing.
[IB 1995, c. 1, §17 (new).]

to the procedure set forth in section 356, subsection 2, paragraphs D and E.
[IB 1995, c. 1, §17 (new).]
D. A candidate whose certification by the commission as a Maine Clean Election Act candidate is revoked on appeal must return

Title 21-A: ELECTIONS
Chapter 14: THE MAINE CLEAN ELECTION ACT (HEADING: IB 1995, c. 1, @17 (new))
§1127. Violations
1. Civil fine. In addition to any other penalties that may be applicable, a person who violates any provision of this chapter or rules
of the commission adopted pursuant to section 1126 is subject to a fine not to exceed $10,000 per violation payable to the
fund. The commission may assess a fine of up to $10,000 for a violation of the reporting requirements of sections 1017 and
1019-B if it determines that the failure to file a timely and accurate report resulted in the late payment of matching funds.
This fine is recoverable in a civil action. In addition to any fine, for good cause shown, a candidate found in violation
of this chapter or rules of the commission may be required to return to the fund all amounts distributed to the candidate
from the fund or any funds not used for campaign-related purposes. If the commission makes a determination that a violation
of this chapter or rules of the commission has occurred, the commission shall assess a fine or transmit the finding to the
Attorney General for prosecution. Fines paid under this section must be deposited in the fund. In determining whether or
not a candidate is in violation of the expenditure limits of this chapter, the commission may consider as a mitigating factor
any circumstances out of the candidate's control.
[2005, c. 301, §33 (amd).]
2. Class E crime. A person who willfully or knowingly violates this chapter or rules of the commission or who willfully or knowingly makes
a false statement in any report required by this chapter commits a Class E crime and, if certified as a Maine Clean Election
Act candidate, must return to the fund all amounts distributed to the candidate.
