      Subpart D--Special Provisions for Political Party Committees
 
Sec. 109.35  What are the restrictions on a political party committee making both independent expenditures and coordinated party expenditures in connection with 
          the general election of a candidate?

    (a) Applicability. For the purposes of this section, all political 
committees established and maintained by a national political party 
(including all congressional campaign committees) and all political 
committees established and maintained by a State political party 
(including any subordinate committee of a State committee) shall be 
considered to be a single political committee.
    (b) Restrictions on certain coordinated and independent 
expenditures. On or after the date on which a political party nominates 
a candidate for election to Federal office, no committee of the 
political party may make:
    (1) Any coordinated party expenditure under 11 CFR 109.32 with 
respect to the candidate during the election cycle at any time after it 
makes any independent expenditure with respect to the candidate during 
the election cycle; or
    (2) Any independent expenditure with respect to the candidate during 
the election cycle at any time after it makes any coordinated 
expenditure under 11 CFR 109.32 with respect to the candidate during the 
election cycle.
    (c) Restrictions on certain transfers and assignments. A committee 
of a political party that makes coordinated expenditures under 11 CFR 
109.32 with respect to a candidate shall not, during the election cycle, 
transfer any funds to, assign authority to make coordinated expenditures 
under 11 CFR 109.32 to, or receive a transfer of funds from, a committee 
of the political party that has made or intends to make an independent 
expenditure with respect to the candidate.
