Amends the Internal Revenue Code to require the Secretary to take into account the amounts estimated to be transferred to the Fund during the calendar year of the election before determining whether to make pro rata reductions in such payments. Increases from $5,000 to $12,500 the contribution threshold for eligibility for payments from the Presidential Primary Matching Payment Account.
