In provisions concerning criminal penalties for unlawful contributions to a candidate or treasurer of a political committee, provides that, in addition to criminal penalties, the State Board of Elections may impose upon a person or political committee found to have violated the provisions a civil penalty of up to $500 for each contribution of $500 or less and up to the amount of the contribution plus $500 for each contribution greater than $500.
