Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act to amend the election law, in relation to filing of papers by delivery services other than the US postal service
Purpose or general idea of bill
To recognize delivery services other than the United States Postal Service for the delivery of papers under the Election Law.
Summary of specific provisions
This bill adds a new subdivision (3) to Section 1-106 of the election law.
Justification
The Election law was developed when the only trusted delivery service was the United States Postal Service. Since that time, many reliable private courier services have come into existence, such as Federal Express, United Parcel Service and other "overnight" courier services. This bill adopts the system used by both the New York State Division of Tax and Finance and the Federal Internal Revenue Service in only allowing recognized delivery services.
