very clearly states that they are unincorporated organizations; therefore, they
are not corporations and are not subject to the contribution limits placed on
corporations in Article 14 of the Election Law. Any changes to an LLC
contribution limit would require a statutory change to the Election Law.
The Board has acted within its administrative role and has refused outside calls
for it to exceed its legislative mandate. The Legislature was clear in its treatment
of LLCs under the law. Any action taken by the Board to further limit LLC
contributions, outside of an act of the Legislature, would be ultra vires and thus
invalid.
For these reasons, The Business Council requests that the Board deny any
proposed regulatory changes that circumvent the statute and reclassify LLCs as
corporations under Election Law 14-116.
Sincerely,
