New York State Senator Brad Hoylman (D-Manhattan's 27th District), proposes the Tax Returns Uniformly Made Public (TRUMP Act) that wants future Presidential candidates to release their taxes to appear on the ballot in New York State.
It would force Presidential candidates to file at least five years' worth of Federal Income Tax Returns with the Board Of Elections (BOE) no later than 50 days prior to the General Election.
The BOE would then have ten days to remove any personal information before making them public.
If candidates don't comply, they would then be disqualified from appearing on the General ballot.
New York State Representatives in the Electoral College would be banned from voting for them.
Hoylman cited President-Elect Trump and his failure to release his tax returns during and after the Election as a reason for the Legislation, saying Trump's decision denied voters crucial information to make their choices.
