Here are a couple things to consider.
1) The PC's wrote this law. This is first time it has been enforced, thus making some potential flaws evident.
2) I think they may have intended it as a punishment to the party. As in: you associate with individuals and groups that break the law; you will get burned too. (little did they know, it would be themselves)
3) It has been rumored for years that the PC's actually counselled these organizations by saying it was "okay". We now see people willing to come forward and confirm this.
They really should man-up and just accept the punishment; bring forward constructive amendments and move on.

The PCs wrote it and it's just plain dumb. You've been a CFO for a campaign as have I. Taking off our partisan hats here, let's be completely honest; we wouldn't have the foggiest clue whether these things are expensed after. We couldn't be expected to have that kind of knowledge, and unless someone explicitly asked whether they could do it, how could you guess that?
I know this comes across as me defending the PCs, and I'm really not. The thing is that while the intent here is well meaning, its virtually impossible to comply.
