"(a) The Republican National Committee shall not, without the prior written and filed approval of all members of the Republican National Committee from the state involved, contribute money or in-kind aid to any candidate for any public or party office except the nominee of the Republican Party or a candidate who is unopposed in the Republican primary after the filing deadline for that office."
But what everyone seems to be overlooking and is the most important part of the law is under part (b).
"(b) ... No person nominated in violation of this rule shall be recognized by the Republican National Committee as the nominee of the Republican Party from that state."
Meaning any state where Romney and the RNC have worked together, without the written and filed prior approval of ALL GOP State Committee members of that state, IS INVALID. He cannot be recognized by the RNC as the nominee of those states.
===============================================
After reading over this again several times I am certain that the final sentence includes the entire Rule, not just clause (b) meaning it's the punishment for the violation of the entire rule. to Summarize.
The RNC can't
contribute money or in-kind aid to any candidate for any public or party office
Unless it has-
prior written and filed approval of all members of the Republican National Committee from the state involved
Exceptions include:
the nominee of the Republican Party,
(NOT ROMNEY)
a candidate who is unopposed in the Republican primary,
(NOT ROMNEY)
Also,
"The RNC will not recognize any state GOP bylaws that allow,
persons who have participated or are participating in the selection of any nominee of a party other than the Republican Party
RESOLVED:
No person nominated in violation of this rule shall be recognized by the Republican National Committee as the nominee of the Republican Party from that state."
