States commonly place limits on contributions to candidates from various sources, and also on contributions to political action committees (PACs) and political parties. Just six states - Illinois, Missouri, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah and Virginia - place no limits on contributions at all.
Another seven states - Alabama, Indiana, Iowa, Mississippi, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, and Texas - have minimal contribution limits. [NOTE: New Mexico passed contribution limits in the 2009 legislative session. They will take effect the day after the November 2010 elections.]
At least seven states (Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Montana, Ohio and Washington) index their contribution limits. All seven states tie them to the Consumer Price Index.
