Hard to believe Priebus isn't on the unemployment line yet. In looking at the 2012 Republican presidential primary being held in August; the last primary suspension by any candidate was Rep. Ron Paul in May. This deadline was comparable to a single candidate running to the primary in 2016 with a convention in July.
How can a primary political organization have such a clause? I think it is fiscal. Investment monies have to be removed from a previous quarter's earnings. The second quarter beginning October 1, 2015 just ended. If the year begins January 1st, the first quarter just ended. Either way the donors have their terms.
The SuperPacs are the only Republican organization with cash flow. If the candidates are accepting donations they will have cash flow. But, it depends on the source of the cash flow.
The states' organizations will some monies, but, it depends on the size of the state and it's donors. Example: California can run fund raisers if the members are still interested in promoting their state's November election of their state candidates.
Why this is dangerous for Republicans is because the top of the ticket will draw funding events. The national organization has to pick and choose where it is going to spend monies to promote the top of the ticket. The states may attempt more fundraisers so long as it doesn't violate it's rules and regs, as well as the rules and regs of the national party.
This announcement to states is coming at a time when the rules committees are organizing and meeting.

Hollywood, Fla. — The Republican National Committee (click here) is scaling back its financial commitments to some of the most hotly contested states because of flagging fund-raising, the most concrete evidence yet of how the party’s divisive and protracted presidential race is threatening the entire Republican ticket in November.
Committee officials outlined detailed plans in written “playbooks” distributed this year in the most competitive states about how they intended to assist Republican campaigns up and down the ballot with money and manpower. By July 1, Florida was to have 256 field organizers and Ohio another 176, for example, according to a state party chairman in possession of the strategy books who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal matters.
But Sean Spicer, the R.N.C.’s chief strategist, acknowledged this week that the committee had begun informing state parties and statewide campaigns that fulfilling such plans would now be “slower.” He said the pledges had been made with the assumption that Republicans would have “a presumptive presidential nominee by now.”...
