Florida law limiting political donations by teens enjoined

August 9, 2012 By Ken Tinkler

A federal judge in the Southern District of Florida has enjoined the Florida Elections Commission from enforcing Fla. Stat. 106.08(1)(b)(2), which provides, in part:

“an unemancipated child under the age of 18 years of age may not make a contribution in excess of $100 to any candidate or to any political committee supporting one or more candidates.”

The law was challenged by a then seventeen year old (and represented by the ACLU) who wanted to attend a $150/ticket political fundraiser.
