NY Exempt Orgs Sue AG to Enjoin Requirement to File Redacted Schedules B

Although NY has complied with a 2021 Supreme Court ruling and removed the requirement to disclose donor identities, “a conservative think-tank” asked a judge to strike down the new requirement to file redacted Schedule B.  Plaintiffs essentially allege that Schedule B, even redacted to exclude donor identities, is an unjustifiable burden on associational rights.  They also allege that NY retains old Schedules B with donor information filed prior to 2021 when the Supreme Court struck down California’s donor disclosure requirement.  The complaint alleges that the risk of disclosure of those old Schedules B constitutes an undue burden on associational rights, chills speech and is therefore an “ongoing” violation of the First Amendment.  Click here to see the entire petition.
