Democrats in control of the state Assembly intend to pass a rule banning campaign contributions while the state budget is being debated.

The ban on donations to individual lawmakers will be in effect from when the governor introduces his budget until it is passed, Assembly Speaker Mike Sheridan said Wednesday.
