(a)Before any private funds are raised or spent for transition or inauguration into office, the elected candidate must register a TIE with the Board; provided, however, that donations may be accepted prior to the registration of the TIE for the purpose of paying fees and depositing any minimum balance required to open a bank account for the TIE.
