he is the campaign or organizational treasurer or deputy campaign or organizational
treasurer, transfer any such funds to the duly designated campaign or organizational
treasurer or deputy campaign or organizational treasurer of another candidate or committee,
for inclusion in the campaign depository thereof, without first so depositing them;
provided, however, that the amount so transferred shall not be in excess of the amount
that may be contributed by one candidate to another candidate in an election pursuant
to section 18 of P.L.1993, c. 65 ( C.19:44A-11.3 ), but this proviso shall not be construed to prohibit a county or municipal committee
of a political party from making a contribution or contributions, or from transferring
funds as hereinabove authorized, to any candidate, candidate committee, joint candidates
committee, political committee, continuing political committee, independent expenditure committee, political party committee, or legislative leadership committee. A record of all nondeposited funds so transferred shall be attached to the statement
