                                 BILL NUMBER:  S138

 TITLE OF BILL :  An act to amend the business corporation law, the
cooperative corporations law, the not-for-profit corporation law, the
railroad law, the transportation corporations law, the banking law and
the limited liability company law, in relation to enacting the
"corporate political activity accountability to shareholders act"

 PURPOSE :

The purpose of this bill is to empower shareholders to make decisions
about core corporate political activity.

 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :

Section 1 titles the act as the "Corporate Political Activity
Accountability to Shareholders Act".

Sections 2 through 11 requires that corporations formed under the
business corporation law, the cooperative corporation law, the
not-for-profit law, the railroad law, the transportation corporations
law, the banking law, and the limited liability company law (1) at
least annually obtain prior authorization of a majority of voting
shares before making any corporate political donations in New York, up
to a total annual aggregate amount approved by the shareholders, and
(2) disclose to its shareholders and file with the secretary of state

an accounting of all such corporate donations, including the identity
of the candidates' committees and initiatives funded and the business
rationale for such contributions. Sections 2 through 11 also provide
the attorney general with the authority to enforce the provisions of
each section.

Section 12 contains a severability clause.

Section 13 provides that this at shall take effect on the first of
August next succeeding the date on which it shall have become a law.

 JUSTIFICATION :

This bill responds to the supreme Court's decision in Citizen's United
v. Federal Election Commission to effectively eliminate restrictions
on corporations' ability to expend corporate resources in support or
opposition to political candidates, political parties and ballot
referendums. Specifically, this bill gives shareholders the necessary
tools to ensure that the expenditure of corporate resources toward
political activity serves the objectives for which the corporation was
formed, is consistent with the corporation's business interests, and
enhances rather than diminishes shareholder value.
