Bill > S03257

This bill amends the Public Officers Law to require entities that submit records to state agencies that are excepted from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) to periodically reapply for the exception. Specifically, the bill allows entities to request a defined period of time for the exception, up to three years, and requires them to apply for a three-year extension before the exception expires. The bill also outlines the process for agencies to review and grant or deny these exception requests and extension requests, as well as the appeal process for any denials.
