NY S06152

Adds definitions to election law including "public contribution" (contributions received pursuant to recommendations from the public campaign financing and election commission) and "negative campaigning" (advertisements by candidates or political committees that directly discuss or characterize opposing candidates' views, platforms, or political positions).

Requires the New York state board of elections to prescribe methods by rule or regulation within 90 days of enactment for how candidates and political committees may use public contributions for campaign activities.

Mandates that regulations on public contribution use include restrictions prohibiting the use of public contributions for negative campaigning.

Takes effect 90 days after enactment, or upon implementation of the public campaign financing and election commission's recommendations, whichever is later.
