 ___________

 Introduced by M. of A. R. CARROLL -- read once and referred to the
 Committee on Election Law

 AN ACT to amend the election law, in relation to prohibiting candidates
 from pre-marking contribution materials to ensure recurring payments

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. The election law is amended by adding a new section 14-134
 2 to read as follows:
 3 § 14-134. Recurring contributions. No candidate shall solicit contrib-
 4 utions or donations from any contributor or donor using any material or
 5 medium pre-marking that such voter shall make a recurring contribution
 6 or donation to such candidate. Any candidate soliciting a recurring
 7 contribution shall receive the affirmative consent of the contributor or
 8 donor at the arrangement of the recurring contribution or donation.
 9 Passive action by the contributor or donor, such as failing to uncheck a
 10 pre-checked box authorizing a recurring contribution, shall not meet the
 11 requirement of affirmative consent under this section. A candidate shall
 12 immediately cancel recurring contributions or donations upon request of
 13 the voter. Any candidate who violates the provisions of this section may
 14 be liable for treble damages in addition to any penalty imposed on such
 15 candidate.
 16 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
