The prohibition does not apply to a political committee of a political party.

Next, the bill requires a political committee to report on disbursements to an immediate family member of the candidate or the individual holding federal office.

Finally, the bill requires any penalty for a violation of the bill to be imposed on the candidate or the individual holding federal office if the candidate or individual involved knew of the violation. Further, it prohibits the committee involved from reimbursing the candidate or individual for the penalty.
