(2) No person shall make any payment to any other person as compensation for referring an individual as a potential corpsmember; and

(2) Nothing contained in this chapter shall be construed to prohibit voluntary contributions to any political committee or organization for legitimate political and campaign purposes to the extent that the contributions are not prohibited by law.
