|
DATE:

March 11, 2008 |
|
|
The Ethics in Government Act, specifically O.C.G.A. § 21-5-41(k), directs the State Ethics Commission to raise or lower the maximum contribution limits set forth in O.C.G.A. § 21-5-41 by $100 increments based on inflation or deflation as determined by the Consumer Price Index published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor. Such limitations shall apply until they are subsequently reviewed by the Commission. On March 11, 2008, the Commission approved an increase in the maximum contribution limits as follows:
|
The $5,000 contribution limit, previously adjusted to $5,700, has increased to $5,900;
the $3,000 contribution limit, previously adjusted to $3,400, has increased to $3,500;
the $2,000 contribution limit, previously adjusted to $2,300, has remained $2,300; and
the $1,000 contribution limit, previously adjusted to $1,100, has increased $1,200.
