Bill > A03336

This bill addresses campaign donation practices by prohibiting recurring campaign donations without explicit consent from the contributor. Specifically, candidates, committees, non-profit entities, and for-profit entities are now required to obtain clear, affirmative consent from a donor before establishing a recurring contribution, which means that pre-checked boxes or passive inaction cannot constitute consent. The bill mandates that when a recurring contribution is accepted, the recipient must provide a receipt within three days that clearly explains the contribution's terms, include cancellation information in all contribution-related communications, and immediately cancel the recurring donation if requested by the contributor. This legislation aims to increase transparency and protect donors from unintended or difficult-to-stop automatic contributions by ensuring they have full knowledge and control over their recurring campaign donations.
