NY A01425

Changes the definition of "authorized committee" from "these recommendations" to "this title" for consistency with the public campaign finance program language.

Modifies the definition of "matchable contribution" to clarify it means contributions up to $250 per unique contributor per election cycle, and specifies that contributions must meet residency requirements based on office type (statewide, state senate, or state assembly).

Adjusts eligibility thresholds for public financing to require a specific number of unique contributors rather than just matchable contributions (e.g., governor requires contributions from at least 5,000 unique contributors instead of 5,000 matchable contributions).

Changes the timing for public fund disbursements in primary elections from "two weeks after designating petitions are filed" to "one hundred twenty days before the primary election."

Repeals Section 11 of Part ZZZ of Chapter 58 of the 2020 laws relating to the New York state campaign finance fund and makes various technical corrections throughout the public campaign finance statute.
