Unspent and/or excess funds in the campaign account of a candidate for county office,
or in an officeholder account or an attorney's fees fund allowed by this chapter,
may, in addition to any other method allowed by law, be disposed of by contribution
to a bona fide charitable, educational, civic, religious, or similar tax-exempt, nonprofit
organization, where no substantial part of the proceeds will have a material financial
effect on the candidate for county office, county officeholder, his or her campaign
treasurer, any individual or individuals with authority to approve the expenditure
of campaign funds, officeholder account funds or attorney's fees funds, or a member
of his or her immediate family. If a candidate in a primary election becomes a candidate
in the general election for that office, unspent funds from the primary campaign may
be carried over for use in that candidate's general election campaign and all expenditure
and contribution limits will continue to apply as if no funds were carried over.
