2023 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.

reports  on  March fifteenth of each election year reporting to the PCFB
every contribution and loan received and  every  expenditure  made.  For
contributors  who make aggregate contributions of one hundred dollars or
more, each authorized and political committee shall report to  the  PCFB

concerning:  (i)  compliance  with requirements of this title and of the
rules issued by the PCFB, and (ii) qualification  for  receiving  public
matching  funds pursuant to this title. 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.
(c) Contributions that are not itemized in reports filed with the PCFB
shall not be matchable.
(d)  Participating  candidates  may  file  reports of contributions as
frequently as once a week on Monday so that their matching funds may  be
