	SECTION 2.08.  Subchapter B, Chapter 253, Election Code, is

	Sec. 253.040.  CONTRIBUTION LIMITS FOLLOWING GENERAL 
ELECTION. (a) During the period beginning on the day after the 
general election for state and county officers and ending on the day 
before the period prescribed by Section 253.034 begins, a person 
may not knowingly make political contributions that in the 
aggregate exceed $1,000 to:
		(1)  a candidate for or holder of:                                     
			(A)  a statewide office in the executive branch;                      
			(B)  the office of state senator; or                                  
			(C)  the office of state representative;                              
		(2)  a specific-purpose committee for supporting, 
opposing, or assisting a candidate for or holder of an office 
described by Subdivision (1); or
		(3)  any combination of a person described by 
Subsection (1) and one or more specific-purpose committees for 
supporting the person as a candidate or assisting the person as an 
officeholder.
	(b)  A candidate for or holder of a statewide office, the 
office of state senator, or the office of state representative or a 
specific-purpose committee for supporting, opposing, or assisting 
such a person may not knowingly accept a political contribution, 
and shall refuse a political contribution that exceeds the limit 
prescribed by Subsection (a) and is received during the period 
prescribed by that subsection. A political contribution that is 
received and refused during the period prescribed by Subsection (a) 
shall be returned to the contributor not later than the 30th day 
after the date of receipt. A contribution made by mail is not 
considered received during that period if it was placed with 
postage prepaid and properly addressed in the United States mail 
before the beginning of the period. The date indicated by the post 
office cancellation mark is considered to be the date the 
contribution was placed in the mail unless proven otherwise.
	(c)  This section does not apply to a political contribution 
that was made and accepted with the intent that it be used:
		(1)  in an election held or ordered during the period 
prescribed by Subsection (a) in which the person accepting the 
contribution is a candidate if the contribution was made after the 
person appointed a campaign treasurer with the appropriate 
authority and before the person was sworn in for that office;
		(2)  to defray expenses incurred in connection with an 
election contest; or
		(3)  by a person who holds or who sought a statewide 
office or a legislative office if the person was defeated at the 
general election or a specific-purpose political committee that 
supports or assists only that person.
	(d)  This section does not apply to a political contribution 
made to or accepted by a candidate for or holder of an office to 
which Subchapter F applies.
	(e)  A person who violates this section commits an offense. 
An offense under this section is a Class A misdemeanor.
	(2)  Renumber the sections of Article 2 of the bill 
accordingly.
