                                 BILL NUMBER:  S5565

 TITLE OF BILL :

An act to amend the election law, in relation to contribution
activities by an intermediary


 PURPOSE :

This bill is designed to provide for the disclosure of intermediaries
such as bundlers, as well as the source and amount of the
contributions they deliver, and the employment information of
contributors of $100 or more.

 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS

Section 1: Amends the Election Law to add a new section 14-105, in
which subdivision one defines an "intermediary" as an individual or
one of several types of organizations that delivers contributions from
another to a candidate or authorized committee, or solicits
contributions to a candidate or authorized committee with the know
ledge of the candidate or his or her authorized committee. Family
members, campaign workers and commercial fundraising firms retained by
the candidate are excluded from this definition.

Subdivision two requires that when an intermediary delivers
contributions of more than $1000, it must provide the name, mailing
address and occupation of any contributor of over $99, and if the
contribution is two hundred dollars or more, then it must also provide
the name and address of the contributor's employer. The intermediary
is also required to provide the total amount of contributions of $99
or less.

Subdivision three requires the candidate, his or her authorized
committee, or the party committee to report to the state board of
elections any intermediary who delivers contributions totaling one
thousand dollars or more.

Subdivision four provides for the state board of elections to provide
for reporting of the intermediary's name, mailing address, occupation
and employer, and the total amount of contributions he or she
delivers.

Section 2: Provides that the Act takes effect sixty days after it
becomes a law.

 EXISTING LAW :

Under the existing law, there is no requirement for the disclosure of
such intermediaries and their fundraising activities.

 JUSTIFICATION :

Currently, bundlers and other intermediaries, who solicit
contributions on behalf of a candidate, are not subject to disclosure
of the amounts they raise, unlike under Federal law. They also are not
required to report who employs them. Given the high campaign
contribution limits in New York, complete disclosure is all the more
important, as the public should have access to information that might
reveal activities and involvements that lend themselves to attempts to
influence legislation. In 2007, New York received a grade of"C" from
the Campaign Disclosure project because of its campaign finance
disclosure laws.

 LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :
None.

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :

None.

 LOCAL FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :

None.

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill is effective sixty days after it becomes a law.

TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the election law, in relation to contribution activities
by an intermediary

PURPOSE:

This bill is designed to provide for the disclosure of intermediaries
such as bundlers, as well as the source and amount of the contributions
they deliver, and the employment information of contributors of $100 or
more.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1: Amends the Election Law to add a new section 14-105, in which
subdivision one defines an "intermediary" as an individual or one of
several types of organizations that delivers contributions from another
to a candidate or authorized committee, or solicits contributions to a
candidate or authorized committee with the knowledge of the candidate or
his or her authorized committee. Family members, campaign workers and
commercial fundraising firms retained by the candidate are excluded from
this definition.

Subdivision two requires that when an intermediary delivers contrib-

utions of more than $1000, it must provide the name, mailing address and
occupation of any contributor of over $99, and if the contribution is
two hundred dollars or more, then it must also provide the name and
address of the contributor's employer. The intermediary is also required
to provide the total amount of contributions of $99 or less.

Subdivision three requires the candidate, his or her authorized commit-
tee, or the party committee to report to the state board of elections
any intermediary who delivers contributions totaling one thousand
dollars or more.

Subdivision four provides for the state board of elections to provide
for reporting of the intermediary's name, mailing address, occupation
and employer, and the total amount of contributions he or she delivers.

Section 2: Provides that the Act takes effect sixty days after it
becomes a law.

EXISTING LAW:

Under the existing law, there is no requirement for the disclosure of
such intermediaries and their fundraising activities.

JUSTIFICATION:

Currently, bundlers and other intermediaries, who solicit contributions
