property, or furnishing of any material, supplies, or equipment to the State,
any of the counties, any department or agency thereof, or for selling any land
or building to the State, any of the counties, or any department or agency
thereof, if payment for the performance of the contract or payment for
material, supplies, equipment, land, property, or building is to be made in
whole or in part from funds appropriated by the legislative body, at any time
between the execution of the contract through the completion of the contract,
to:

(b) It shall be unlawful for any person who receives
a grant or subsidy from the State pursuant to chapter 42F, at any time between

of the contract, to:
(1) Directly or indirectly make any contribution, or promise expressly or
impliedly to make any contribution to any candidate committee or noncandidate
committee, or to any candidate or to any person for any political purpose or
use; or
(2) Knowingly solicit any contribution from any person for any purpose during
any period.
(c) During the contract period
wherein a state or county contractor, or grantee of the State, shall not make a
contribution, the officers and employees of any state or county contractor, or

directly or indirectly making any contribution to a candidate committee or
noncandidate committee.

make unlawful the establishment or administration of, or the solicitation of
contributions to, any noncandidate committee by any person other than the state
or county contractor, or grantee of
the State, or their officers, employees, and immediate family members, for the purpose of influencing the
nomination for election, or the election of any person to office.
