The Board adopted final rules. The amendments clarify specific Board rules regarding the application of the spending limits for expenditures related to transfers; provide deadlines for attendance at a post-election audit training; and clarify that a petition for review of a post-election public funds determination must be submitted within 30 days of the issuance of the final audit report. The rules can be found here later today.
The Board also issued for public comment proposed amendments to its rules. The proposed amendments would conform the Board’s rules to recent amendments to the New York State Freedom of Information Law and changes to the Campaign Finance Act contained in Local Law Nos. 34 and 67 of 2007. The proposed changes, would, among other things: provide a standard for determining when a document is considered to be issued or provided by the Board, and conform Board rules to the rules of the Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings for the formal candidate hearings that take place under the City Administrative Procedure Act. Written public comments will be accepted until July 20, 2009, the anticipated date of the public hearing on the proposed rule changes. The proposed rules can be found here later today.
The next public meeting of the New York City Campaign Finance Board will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, July 9 at 40 Rector Street in Lower Manhattan (between Washington and West Streets), New York, NY 10006.
