BILL NUMBER: S891 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the election law, in relation to disqualification of candidates who fail to file personal financial disclosure statements PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL : To insure that candidates for public office fully disclose their personal financial ties and investments as required by the Ethics in Government law. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS : A new section 6-123 is added to the election law, which would disqualify candidates for public office who fail to file an annual statement of financial disclosure as required by the public officers law. JUSTIFICATION : In 1987 the Legislature enacted stringent financial reporting requirements in the Ethics in Government law. Pursuant to this law, incumbent officeholders must file personal financial disclosure statements by May 15. However, non-incumbent challenger candidates do not have to file their disclosure statements until after they have filed their designating or nominating petitions or certificates of nomination (usually in July, August or September).
