limited liability company, joint-stock, other association, or other
corporate entity organized or maintained for political purposes, or for,
or in aid of, any candidate for political office or for nomination for
such office, or for any political purpose whatever, or for the

part, by such corporation, any limited liability company or other
corporate entity may make expenditures, including contributions, not
otherwise prohibited by law, for political purposes, in an amount not to
exceed five thousand dollars in the aggregate in any calendar year;
provided that no public utility shall use revenues received from the
rendition of public service within the state for contributions for
political purposes unless such cost is charged to the shareholders of
such a public service corporation.

3. Each limited liability company that makes an expenditure, or
contribution, for political purposes shall file with the state board of
elections, by December thirty-first of the year in which the expenditure
is made, on the form prescribed by the state board of elections, the
