State Ethics Commission Increases
Contribution Limits |
| DATE: |
February 24, 2009 |
| |
The Ethics in
Government Act, specifically O.C.G.A. § 21-5-41(k), directs the State Ethics
Commission to raise or lower the maximum contribution limits set forth in
O.C.G.A. § 21-5-41 by $100 increments based on inflation or deflation as
determined by the Consumer Price Index published by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics of the United States Department of Labor. Such limitations shall
apply until they are subsequently reviewed by the Commission. On February 24,
2009,
the Commission approved an increase in the maximum contribution limits as
follows:
|
The $5,000 contribution limit, previously adjusted to $5,900, has
increased to $6,100;
the $3,000 contribution limit, previously adjusted to $3,500, has increased to
$3,600;
the $2,000 contribution limit, previously adjusted to $2,300, has increased to
$2,400; and
the $1,000 contribution limit, previously adjusted to $1,200, has remained
$1,200.
