NY A04259

Amends the election law to expand the State Board of Elections' "fair campaign code" to require identification of the authorizing person, political party, or committee on all campaign literature, media advertisements, broadcasts, public speeches, press releases, and other writings.

Adds media identification requirements to existing ethical conduct standards in the fair campaign code, which currently addresses prohibitions against political espionage and subversion of political parties and processes.

Effective date is 180 days after the bill becomes law, with authority for the State Board of Elections to adopt necessary rules and regulations immediately upon enactment.
