Bill > S08926

This bill requires governmental and certain nongovernmental entities to publish public records proactively on the internet that are of public interest. It amends the Public Officers Law to define "agency" more broadly, including any governmental entity performing a governmental or proprietary function for the state. The bill also expands the duties of the Committee on Open Government, requiring it to promulgate rules and regulations, provide training, and establish an appeals process for denied record requests. The bill aims to enhance public access to government information and transparency.
