§ 19:44a-10.

Notwithstanding any provision of P.L.1973, c. 83 ( C.19:44A-1 et seq. ), or any other law, rule, or regulation to the contrary, the two major political

parties in this State and their respective county political party committees shall

be permitted to create a segregated depository account, separate from any campaign

depository account, to be deemed as the “housekeeping account.” The purpose of the housekeeping account shall be to pay eligible expenses for non-political

purposes of the State political party committee or county political party committee

including, but not limited to, legal activity, accounting, compliance, human resources,

collective bargaining, capital expenses such as mortgage payments, rent, utilities,

and taxes, and expenses related to county, State, or national political party conventions. The two major political parties in this State and their respective county political

party committees shall be permitted to raise funds for deposit into the housekeeping

account, except that the maximum contribution or limit on the funds raised from any

given person, candidate, or committee shall be equivalent to half the amounts established

under P.L.1973, c. 83 ( C.19:44A-1 et seq. ) for the State committee of a political party or the county committee of a political

party. Gubernatorial campaigns shall be permitted to utilize the funds deposited in a political

party housekeeping account established under this section for any non-political expenditures

incurred following the election in which the gubernatorial candidates participated,

and those non-political expenditures shall not be considered an in-kind contribution. Each State political party committee and each county political party committee establishing

a housekeeping account as provided under this section shall file with the Election

Law Enforcement Commission a report of all contributions received for the housekeeping

account in excess of $200 and of all expenditures made from the account. The reports shall contain the same information and shall be filed in the same schedule

as the reports of campaign contributions and expenditures required to be filed by

political party committees pursuant to subsection c. of section 8 of P.L.1973, c.

83 ( C.19:44A-8 ).
