An act to amend the Election Law — 2023-03-15 · Calendar #457

NYS Legislature ↗ · OpenLeg API ↗

The New York State Senate passed legislation Wednesday to prohibit corporations with foreign national ownership from making political contributions, closing what sponsors say is a loophole allowing foreign nationals to circumvent federal campaign finance restrictions. Senate Print 371, sponsored by Sen. John Gianaris, passed 50-13 on a roll call vote. The bill targets indirect ownership structures, preventing corporations with any level of foreign national ownership from donating to campaigns. Gianaris argued the measure is necessary to combat foreign election interference, particularly from Russia, and emphasized that foreign nationals can still contribute individually under their own names. However, Sen. Andrew Martins and 12 other Republicans opposed the measure, raising concerns about unintended consequences for family-owned businesses and permanent residents who may lose their status. Martins cited his family's Portuguese immigrant background, arguing the bill's broad application could prevent legitimate business owners from participating in the political process. "Bills matter and language matters," Martins said, warning that the legislation could "stifle people's ability to participate in the process." Gianaris countered that the bill does not restrict anyone's participation—foreign nationals simply must contribute directly rather than through corporate entities. The bill now moves to the Assembly.

Passed Senate Ayes: 50 · Nays: 13

Debate Summary

The bill prohibits corporations with foreign national ownership from making political contributions, closing a loophole that allows foreign nationals to circumvent federal restrictions on campaign donations by giving through corporate entities. Sen. Martins raised concerns about the bill's broad application to small family businesses and permanent residents who may lose their status, arguing it could inadvertently prevent legitimate business owners from participating in the political process. Sen. Gianaris defended the measure as necessary to combat foreign election interference, particularly from Russia, and clarified that the bill targets indirect ownership structures while allowing foreign nationals to give individually.
