 PUBLIC LAW 94-283—MAY 11, 1976 serving as a member of such Commission on the date of the enactment of this Act. (g)(1) All personnel, liabilities, contracts, property, and records determined by the Director of the Office of Management and Budget to be employed, held, or used primarily in connection with the functions of the Federal Election Commission under title III of the Act as such title existed on January 1, 1976, or under any other provision of law, are transferred to such Commission as constituted under the amendments made by this Act to the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971. (2)(A) Except as provided in subparagraph (B), personnel engaged in functions transferred under paragraph (1) shall be transferred in accordance with applicable laws and regulations relating to the transfer of functions. (B) The transfer of personnel pursuant to paragraph (1) shall be without reduction in classification or compensation for 1 year after such transfer. (3) All laws relating to the functions transferred under this Act shall, insofar as such laws are applicable and not amended by this Act, remain in full force and effect. All orders, determinations, rules, and opinions made, issued, or granted by the Federal Election Commission before its reconstitution under the amendments made by this Act which are in effect at the time of the transfer provided by paragraph (1), and which are consistent with the amendments made by this Act, shall continue in effect to the same extent as if such transfer had not occurred. Any rule or regulation proposed by such Commission before the date of the enactment of this Act shall be prescribed by such Commission only if, after such date of enactment, the rule or regulation is submitted to the Senate or the House of Representatives, as the case may be, in accordance with the provisions of section 315(c) of the Act (as redesignated by section 105), and it is not disapproved by the appropriate House of the Congress. (4) The provisions of this Act shall not affect any proceeding pending before the Federal Election Commission on the date of the enactment of this Act. (5) No suit, action, or other proceeding commenced by or against the Federal Election Commission or any officer or employee thereof acting in his official capacity shall abate by reason of the transfer made under paragraph (1). The court before which such suit, action, or other proceeding is pending may, on motion or supplemental petition filed at any time within 12 months after the date of the enactment of this Act, allow such suit, action, or other proceeding to be maintained against the Federal Election Commission if the party making the motion or filing the petition shows a necessity for the survival of the suit, action, or other proceeding to obtain a settlement of the question involved. (6) Any reference in any other Federal law to the Federal Election Commission, or to any member or employee thereof, as such Commission existed under the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 before its amendment by this Act shall be held and considered to refer to the Federal Election Commission, or the members or employees thereof, as such Commission exists under the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 as amended by this Act.
