Bill > A05059

This bill amends the New York election law to require that any subpoena issued in relation to election matters must be accompanied by a separate informational sheet. The informational sheet must be written in plain, easy-to-read language and clearly explain several key points: why the subpoena has been issued, that the case is not a criminal action, that the person being served does not currently face criminal charges related to the case, that the action is connected to an upcoming election, and the potential consequences of not complying with the subpoena. The informational sheet must be affixed directly to the subpoena and printed in a clear, readable format and type size. The bill will go into effect 90 days after it becomes law, with the goal of providing more transparency and clarity to individuals receiving subpoenas in election-related matters.
