[EL] Question on State Aggregate Limits

[Beckel, Michael]

Some regulators might move to make changes prior to lawsuits (e.g., MD, MA); in other cases, action might only come after lawsuits, as I wrote about here<http://www.publicintegrity.org/2014/04/04/14517/more-dozen-states-could-throw-out-donation-caps-after-mccutcheon-ruling>.

Massachusetts has said the same about their individual limit.

There has been an advice issued in Maryland by the Board of Elections that the aggregate contribution limit will not be enforced in the 2014 election.  As one Senator said to me, “The McCutcheon decision means never having to hear again, ‘Sorry, buddy, I already maxed out.’”   There will still apparently be active enforcement of “anti-circumvention” rules.

With McCutcheon nullifying the federal aggregate limits have any of the states with aggregate limits revoked theirs, or will those need to be challenged on a state by state basis?
Some examples:
MD at 24K
MA at 12.5K
RI at 10K
NY at 150K

Thanks,
Peter
