Prohibits certain functions whenever the legislature is in session
S 1699 prohibits fundraising events requiring election law reporting within 15 miles of the New York State Capitol during legislative sessions. It directly affects lobbyists, public corporations, and clients who organize or attend such events near the Capitol. The bill creates penalties including class A misdemeanors for initial violations, class E felonies for repeat offenses within five years, and civil fines up to $25,000 or three times the improperly handled funds. These provisions amend existing election and legislative laws to enforce the Capitol zone restriction.
