BILL NUMBER: S6896

SPONSOR: KAMINSKY
 
TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the election law, in relation to
disclosure of the identities of political committees making certain
expenditures for political communications

 
PURPOSE:

This bill expands on what constitutes political communications for
purposes of reporting under the election law and requires said communi-
cations to state who is specifically paying for the content.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section one of the bill amends section 14-106 of the election law as it
relates to requiring disclosure of political communications. The current
definition for political communication is expanded to capture communi-
cations that may not reference a candidate but nonetheless include key
terms such as "vote", "oppose", "support", "elect", "defeat" or "reject"
in the ad itself. The section also specifically adds digital communi-

cations to the list of those communications in current law.

Political communications would be required to have a "paid for by"
statement on all related material. The statement would have to be in
plain view on all communications, irrespective of the medium used.

Section two of the bill amends subdivision 2 of section 14-107 (Inde-
pendent Expenditure reporting) to ensure that individuals' private
communication expenditures display the name of the payer, consistent
with the language of section 14-106.

Section three of the bill amends subdivision three of section 14-126 of
the election law as it relates to penalties. The bill provides penalties
for violations of the section with fines of up to $1,000 per violation
or up to the cost of the communication, whichever is greater. This
amends the subdivision to include the failure to identify any partic-
ipating political committee.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Unlike federal law and countless other states, there is no requirement
in New York that political communications from certain groups or organ-
izations reveal who pays for them. In today's political environment,
campaign advertising knows no specific medium and ranges from radio to
television to digital ads. The ways in which campaigns communicate with
voters are constantly changing, moving more and more into digital forms,
rather than traditional mail or broadcast.  Complicating this landscape
further, ads are often written or posted in ways that deliberately
mislead voters about a candidate's record or positions. As a result,
anonymous ads saturate voters online and blur what is true and what is
not.

Unfortunately, these types of ads have become the norm for voters who
are increasingly faced with trying to decipher what is real versus
"fake" news. Earlier in September for example, Facebook disclosed to
federal investigators that it sold $100,000 worth of advertising to an
online troll farm connected with the Russian government in an attempt to
influence the 2016 presidential election. Here in New York, Facebook
sponsored ads by groups such as "NYS Public Schools" or "Stop the
Corruption in Albany Now" have targeted voters with digital attack ad
campaigns that never indicate who is actually behind the group or funds
the advertising. Indeed, there is no real group called "NYS Public
Schools" for instance, although viewers of these ads are led to believe
that the ad was paid for, vetted, and put forward by such a group. This
is troubling and misleading. These ads never verify the authenticity of
the content, let alone identify who is paying for them. As a conse-
quence, voters are subject to countless amounts of information that more
often than not, is simply untrue.

This bill will end anonymous political attack ads and require that all
ads clearly state who paid for them. Once enacted into law, campaigns
and those trying to influence elections will no longer be able to avoid
taking responsibility for the content of their political communications.

 
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

New bill.

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

None to the state.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
The first of January next succeeding the date upon which it shall have
become law.

   §  2.  Subdivision 2 of section 14-107 of the election law, as amended
 by section 2 of part A of chapter 286 of the laws of 2016, is amended to

 uted the communication and state, with respect to communications regard-
 ing  candidates,  that the communication was not expressly authorized or
 requested by any candidate, or by any candidate's political committee or
 any of its agents.
   § 3. Subdivision 3 of section 14-126 of the election law, as added  by
