NY Elec L § 14-200 (2021)
2021 New York Laws ELN - Election Article 14 - Campaign Receipts and Expenditures; Public Financing Title 2 - Public Financing 14-200 - Legislative Findings and Intent.

* § 14-200. Legislative  findings  and  intent.  The legislature finds   that reform of New York state's campaign finance system  is  crucial  to   improving  public  confidence  in  the  state's democratic processes and   continuing to ensure a government that is  accountable  to  all  of  the   voters  of  the  state regardless of wealth or position. The legislature   finds that New York's current system of campaign finance, with its large   contributions to candidates for office and party committees, has created   the potential for and the  appearance  of  corruption.  The  legislature   further   finds   that,  whether  or  not  this  system  creates  actual   corruption, the appearance  of  such  corruption  can  give  rise  to  a   distrust in government and citizen apathy that undermines the democratic   operation of the political process.The legislature also finds that the high cost of running for office in   New  York  discourages  qualified candidates from running for office and   creates an electoral system that encourages candidates to spend too much   time raising money rather than attending to the duties of their  office,   representing  the  needs  of  their constituents, and communicating with   voters.The legislature amends this article  creating  a  new  title  to  this   article  to reduce the possibility and appearance that special interests   exercise undue influence over state officials; to  increase  the  actual   and  apparent  responsiveness  of  elected  officials  to all voters; to   encourage qualified candidates to run for  office;  and  to  reduce  the   pressure  on  candidates  to  spend  large amounts of time raising large   contributions for their campaigns.The legislature  also  finds  that  the  system  of  voluntary  public   financing  furthers  the  government's interest in encouraging qualified   candidates to run for office. The legislature finds that  the  voluntary   public  funding  program  will  enlarge  the  public debate and increase   participation in the democratic process. In  addition,  the  legislature   finds  that  the  voluntary  expenditure  limitations  and matching fund   program reduce the burden on candidates and officeholders to spend  time   raising money for their campaigns.Therefore,  the legislature declares that these amendments further the   important and valid  government  interests  of  reducing  voter  apathy,   building  confidence  in government, reducing the reality and appearance   of corruption, and encouraging qualified candidates to run  for  office,   while reducing candidates' and officeholders' fundraising burdens.* NB Effective November 9, 2022

In the course of this review,  it shall give authorized and political committees an opportunity to respond to  and  correct potential violations and give candidates an opportunity to address questions it  has  concerning  their  matchable  contribution claims  or  other  issues  concerning  eligibility  for receiving public matching funds pursuant to this title.
