Enactment date: 9/25/1998
Int. No. 345-A
By the Speaker (Council Member Vallone), the Public Advocate (Mr. Green) and Council Members Pinkett, Clarke, Eldridge, Freed, Henry, Koslowitz, Leffler, Michels and Miller; also Council Members O'Donovan, Reed, Robinson, Sabini, Duane and Spigner.
A Local Law to amend the charter of the city of New York and the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to donations accepted and expenditures made on behalf of candidates elected to certain local offices for purposes of such candidates' transition or inauguration into office.
Be it enacted by the Council as follows:
Section 1. Declaration of Legislative Intent and Findings. Successful candidates for City office have, in recent years, undertaken activities for purposes of commencing their term of office. These "transition" and "inauguration" activities have included the hiring of government officials, inaugural parties, and public relations. The financing of these activities is not regulated by either State law or the New York City Campaign Finance Act. The lack of regulation of transition and inauguration activities increases the likelihood, or at least the appearance, that wealthy special interests will have undue influence over New York City's elected officials. The Council has determined to address these issues by regulating private financing of transition and inaugural activities.
