The provisions of this section apply only for purposes of the
Client Semi-Annual Filing due January 17, 2017 (covering the period July 1,
2016 - December 31, 2016), and supersede any parallel provisions found in this
Part. Notwithstanding the definition of "Reportable Amount of Contribution" in
section
938.2(g),
contribution amounts attributable to membership dues, fees or assessments shall
be disclosed for all contributions received prior to September 23, 2016.
(a) Definitions.
(1) Expenditure Threshold consists of the
following two requirements:
(i) For the
Expenditure Threshold Period of January 1, 2016 - December 31, 2016:
(a) the Client Filer has spent in excess of
$50,000 in Reportable Compensation and/or Expenses for lobbying in New York
State during the Expenditure Threshold Period; and
(b) The Client Filer's Reportable
Compensation and Expenses constitute at least 3% of the Client Filer's Total
Expenditures during the Expenditure Threshold Period.
(ii) For the Expenditure Threshold Period of
September 23, 2016 - December 31, 2016:
(a)
the Client Filer has spent in excess of $15,000 in Reportable Compensation

Period; and
(b) The Client Filer's

(2) Expenditure
Threshold Period is determined according to the following:
(i) Full Year Calculation: January 1, 2016 -
December 31, 2016.
(ii) Special
Period Calculation: September 23, 2016 - December 31, 2016.
Any Client Filer that does not meet the Expenditure Threshold
using the Full Year Calculation must then determine whether it has met the
Expenditure Threshold using the Special Period Calculation, and if it has, then
the Client Filer is deemed to have met the statutory Expenditure
Threshold.
(b) Contribution Reporting Requirements for
Entities Exceeding the Expenditure Threshold in this section.
(1) If a Client Filer met the Expenditure
Threshold during the first client semi-annual reporting period (January 1 -
June 30) based on the provisions of section
938.3
of this Part in effect at the time, and thus was required to disclose Sources
of Funding in the July 15, 2016 Client Semi-Annual Report, the Client Filer
shall disclose the information in section
938.3(e)
of this Part for:
(i) all contributions
received during the second client semi-annual reporting period from a source
who was previously disclosed in the first client semi-annual report;
(ii) all contributions received during the
year from a source who was not previously disclosed in the first client
semi-annual reporting period, if the total of such contributions is in excess
of $5,000; and
(iii) all
contributions received from September 23, 2016 - December 31, 2016 from a

2016 - December 31, 2016 is in excess of $2,500.
(2) If a Client Filer did not meet the
Expenditure Threshold during the first client semiannual reporting period
(January 1 - June 30) based on the provisions of section
938.3
of this Part in effect at the time, and thus was not required to disclose
Sources of Funding in the July 15, 2016 Client Semi-Annual Report, the Client
Filer shall disclose the information in section
938.3(e)
of this Part for:
(i) all contributions
