P.R. Laws tit. 16, § 625a
No natural person may, directly or indirectly, make contributions inside or outside of Puerto Rico to a political party, aspirant, candidate, campaign committee, authorized committee, or political action committee in excess of two thousand six hundred dollars ($2,600). The Board of Election Comptrollers shall adjust said limit to show the inflation rate in Puerto Rico, but the limit amount resulting from said adjustment shall be rounded to the nearest hundred. Limits shall operate by calendar year. The Election Comptroller shall be required to inform the general public, giving priority to natural or juridical persons with any interest in election campaigns, on the limits of the contributions authorized by law. Furthermore, it shall be the duty of the Election Comptroller to provide orientation regarding the rules, terms, and conditions related to the provisions of this section.
The provisions of this section shall not apply to Segregated Funds Committees or to Independent Expenditure Committees that do not coordinate or make a contribution to any party, aspirant, candidate, or the campaign committees, or authorized committees of any of the latter.
For purposes of this chapter, if a contribution is made to a committee that does not coordinate or contribute to any party, aspirant, candidate, or the campaign committee or authorized committee thereof, and such committee subsequently coordinates or contributes to any party, aspirant, candidate or campaign committee or authorized committee thereof, such committee, its founders, treasurer, and deputy treasurer shall refund to the Office of the Election Comptroller all funds received under its previous non-coordinating status and not used for non- coordinated expenditures during its previous non-coordinating status. The Office of the Election Comptroller shall identify the contributors in order to issue refunds and, if not possible, these sums shall be deposited in the Special Fund created under § 622o of this title. This is a joint obligation.
