“Increase in Party Money Limits Raises Questions for Future Campaigns, CRS Says”

Bloomberg BNA:

A dramatic increase in contribution limits for political parties tacked onto a $1.1 trillion government funding bill has raised big questions about the next era of campaign financing as the 2016 election cycle begins, according to a new report from the Congressional Research Service (CRS).
The impact of the increased party contribution limits “will depend on a combination of agency implementation and political practice,” according to the CRS report released Dec. 19. CRS noted that the Federal Election Commission (FEC) is responsible for administering the increased limits, and the FEC has promised to provide guidance “as soon as practicable” about how the new law will be implemented.
