§ 4-07 Final Statement.

RCNY § 4-07

(a)A candidate must file all disclosure statements required under 52 RCNY § 4-05(b) until such time as the candidate files a final statement demonstrating the disposition of all committee assets and satisfaction of all committee liabilities, including the payment of any penalties or repayment of public funds owed to the Board; provided, however, that any financial activity occurring after the final statement has been filed must be reported in the next semi-annual disclosure statement.

(b)A candidate whose candidacy has been deemed terminated, as described in 52 RCNY § 3-04(a), must continue to file all required disclosure statements; provided, however, that the Board may deem a candidate who has not received public funds for the current election cycle and is not seeking reconsideration of a public funds determination exempt from such filing requirements upon the filing of a signed, notarized statement from the candidate and treasurer indicating that the candidate has ceased campaigning and does not intend to raise or spend additional funds in connection with the covered election. Candidates who receive such an exemption are nevertheless required to abide by all other Program obligations, including maintaining records, submitting documentation or information in response to requests by the Board, and paying penalties for violations of the Act and Rules. If a candidate who has received an exemption under this subdivision resumes raising or spending funds in connection with the covered election, the candidate must immediately notify the Board in writing and such candidate will be subject to all requirements applicable to a candidate whose candidacy has been terminated, as described in 52 RCNY § 3-04.
