Bill > S05664

This bill requires the New York State Public Authorities Control Board to post video recordings and written transcripts of its meetings on its public website within 48 hours of each meeting, and maintain those recordings and transcripts for a specific duration - video recordings must be kept for at least 10 years, while written transcripts must be maintained indefinitely. The legislation overrides any existing laws that might previously have restricted such public access, effectively increasing transparency by ensuring that the board's meetings are readily available for public review. The bill will go into effect 30 days after it becomes law, giving the board time to implement the new record-keeping and posting requirements. By mandating the preservation and accessibility of meeting records, the bill aims to promote greater accountability and public oversight of the Public Authorities Control Board's activities.
