BILL NUMBER:S2789

Title of bill

An act to amend the election law, in relation to the appointment and removal of the treasurer of a candidate committee

Purpose

Allows candidates to appoint a financial disclosure committee for purpose of appointing a treasurer.

Summary of provisions

Amend Election Law to allow candidates for public office to designate a committee of up to three persons to appoint a treasurer to their political committee. This committee may designate the treasurer of such political committee.

Justification

Under current law political committees are controlled by a campaign treasurer appointed by the candidate. There is no provision for a situation where the candidate dies or is incapacitated and still has money in their campaign account. This bill would allow a candidate to appoint up to three persons to serve as a committee to oversee the appointment of the campaign treasurer on behalf of the candidate to ensure the appropriate use of the campaign funds.
