Pennsylvania Authorization for a Political Committee to Receive Funds on Behalf of a Candidate is a document that must be filed with the Pennsylvania Department of State for a political committee to collect and disburse funds on behalf of a candidate. This document is required by Pennsylvania Election Code Section 3136, and is to be completed in full and signed by the candidate and the committee treasurer. The Authorization for a Political Committee to Receive Funds on Behalf of a Candidate includes the name of the candidate, the name of the political committee, and the name of the committee treasurer, as well as the address and phone number of the political committee. Additionally, the candidate must indicate whether the committee will be receiving funds in connection with federal, state, or local elections. There are two types of Pennsylvania Authorization for a Political Committee to Receive Funds on Behalf of a Candidate: a general authorization and a specific authorization. A general authorization allows the political committee to accept funds on behalf of the candidate for any election, while a specific authorization limits the political committee to accepting funds for a specific election.
