A 3456 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to transition and inauguration receipts and expenditures

This bill (A 3456) requires transition and inauguration committees - entities formed to accept donations and cover expenses for candidates entering office - to file detailed financial reports with the board of elections. These reports must include all receipts, contributions (with donor names and addresses), expenditures (with recipient names and purposes), and loan documentation, though small amounts under $50 for expenditures or $99 per donor need not be itemized. Committees must submit final reports showing how remaining funds are disposed of (returned to donors or handled per board rules), and failure to file or report inaccurately incurs civil penalties up to $1,000 or criminal charges like class A misdemeanors. The law aims to increase transparency around campaign-related spending during election transitions.
