| The Commission may render advisory opinions
upon the request of any candidate, candidate committee, noncandidate
committee, or other person or entity, as to whether the facts and
circumstances of a particular case constitute or will constitute a violation
of the campaign spending laws. The Commission
has completed "shepardizing” its advisory opinions. Here, shepardization
is a process of review to identify and label advisory opinions that are
obsolete or have been modified. The term “obsolete” includes: (1) Advisory
opinions that the Commission has specifically declared void or rescinded, and
(2) Advisory opinions that have been superseded by a later advisory opinion
(although not specifically stated) or by statutory amendment.
The advisory opinions remain
on the website for purposes of understanding where the Commission has been,
and to shed light on where the Commission is headed.
An advisory opinion remains in effect if no notation appears beside it.
