 Introduced by M. of A. ROSENTHAL -- read once and referred to the

 ments of canvassing boards to the state board of elections

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

 1 Section 1. The first undesignated paragraph of section 9-214 of the
 2 election law, as amended by chapter 286 of the laws of 1983, is amended
 3 to read as follows:
 4 The board of elections shall transmit by mail or cause to be delivered
 5 personally to the state board of elections, a certified copy of the
 6 statement of the canvassing board relating to the offices of electors of
 7 president and vice-president of the United States, United States
 8 senator, representatives in congress and state offices, including
 9 members of the state senate and assembly, and to the votes cast on any
 10 ballot proposal submitted to all the voters of the state, within twen-
 11 ty-five days after the election. It is the ministerial and nondiscre-
 12 tionary duty of each board of elections, and each of the members of the
 13 board of elections, to transmit by mail or cause the certified copy to
 14 be delivered personally to the state board of elections. If any certi-
 15 fied copy shall not be received by the state board on or before the
 16 twenty-fifth day following a general election, or a special election, it
 17 shall dispatch a special messenger to obtain such certified copy, and
 18 the board of elections, immediately upon demand of such messenger at its
 19 office, shall make and deliver a certified copy to such messenger who
 20 shall deliver it forthwith to the state board.
 21 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
