NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
BILL NUMBER: A3824
SPONSOR: McDonald (MS) TITLE OF BILL:
An act to amend the public officers law, in relation to requiring legis-
lators and candidates for member of the legislature to provide a link to
their financial disclosure statements on their official state and
campaign websites
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:
The purpose of this legislation is to increase transparency and to
educate the public about who represents them by requiring members of the
legislature and candidates for such elected office to post their finan-
cial disclosure statements in visible domains for constituents and the
electorate to easily access them.
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:
Section 1 of the bill amends Section 73-a (2) of the Public Officers Law
by adding new subparagraphs (ii) and (iii), which would require every
member of the legislature and legislative candidate who maintain any
website for service in their official state or campaign capacities to
post their annual financial disclosure statements on such websites.
Section 2 of the bill establishes the effective date.
JUSTIFICATION:
The Public Integrity Reform Act of 2011 required New York State govern-
ment officials and State legislative candidates to file financial
disclosure statements to the Joint Commission on Public Ethics (JCOPE)
on an annual basis. The financial disclosure statements must be submit-
ted to JCOPE by May 15 of each calendar year, where they are thoroughly
review by the commission. After the commission approves the statements
for public posting, JCOPE is required to post such statements on their
website by June 30 of each calendar year. The intent of the act was to
comprehensively reform both the requirements and enforcement of public
ethics in the state.
The intent of the act is laudable for its efforts to restore public
confidence in our government by requiring the disclosure of outside
income sources of elected officials. However, there appears to be a gap
between the posting of statements on JCOPE's website and the accessibil-
ity for the public to find such statements.
This legislation seeks to remedy the issue by requiring State legisla-
tors and State legislative candidates to post their annual financial
disclosure forms, which have already been reviewed and approved by JCOPE
for public posting, on their official state and campaign websites. It is
vital to increase the transparency of our government and to educate
constituents and the electorate about who represents them. Access to the
outside income of our elected officials and candidates for such offices
will promote the much-needed public trust in this state.
PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
2017-2018 A.5688-A/S.4726
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
To be determined.
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately.

24 A reporting individual need not disclose activities performed while
25 lawfully acting in his or her capacity as provided in paragraphs (c),
26 (d), (e) and (f) of subdivision seven of section seventy-three of this
27 article.
28 The disclosure requirement in questions (b-1) and (b-2) shall not
29 require disclosing clients or customers receiving medical, pharmaceu-
30 tical or dental services, mental health services, or residential real
31 estate brokering services from the reporting individual or his or her
32 firm or if federal law prohibits or limits disclosure. The reporting
33 individual need not identify any client to whom he or she or his or her
34 firm provided legal representation with respect to investigation or
35 prosecution by law enforcement authorities, bankruptcy, family court,
36 estate planning, or domestic relations matters, nor shall the reporting
37 individual identify individuals represented pursuant to an insurance
38 policy but the reporting individual shall in such circumstances only
39 report the entity that provides compensation to the reporting individ-
40 ual; with respect to matters in which the client's name is required by
41 law to be kept confidential (such as matters governed by the family
42 court act) or in matters in which the reporting individual represents or
43 provides services to minors, the client's name may be replaced with
44 initials. To the extent that the reporting individual, or his or her
45 firm, provided legal representation with respect to an initial public
46 offering, and professional disciplinary rules, federal law or regu-
47 lations restrict the disclosure of information relating to such work,
A. 3824 9
1 the reporting individual shall (i) disclose the identity of the client
2 and the services provided relating to the initial public offering to the
3 office of court administration, who will maintain such information
4 confidentially in a locked box; and (ii) include in his or her response
5 to questions (b-1) and (b-2) that pursuant to this paragraph, a disclo-
6 sure to the office of court administration has been made. Upon such time
7 that the disclosure of information maintained in the locked box is no
8 longer restricted by professional disciplinary rules, federal law or
9 regulation, the reporting individual shall disclose such information in
10 an amended disclosure statement in response to the disclosure require-
11 ments in questions (b-1) and (b-2). The office of court administration
12 shall develop and maintain a secure portal through which information
13 submitted to it pursuant to this paragraph can be safely and confiden-
14 tially stored. With respect to clients represented in other matters not
15 otherwise exempt, the reporting individual may request an exemption to
16 publicly disclosing the name of that client from the joint commission
17 pursuant to paragraph (i-1) of subdivision nine of section ninety-four
18 of the executive law, or from the office of court administration. In
19 such application, the reporting individual shall state the following:
20 "My client is not currently receiving my services or seeking my services
21 in connection with:
22 (i) A proposed bill or resolution in the senate or assembly during the
23 reporting period;
24 (ii) A contract in an amount totaling $10,000 or more from the state
25 or any state agency for services, materials, or property;
26 (iii) A grant of $10,000 or more from the state or any state agency
27 during the reporting period;
28 (iv) A grant obtained through a legislative initiative during the
29 reporting period; or
30 (v) A case, proceeding, application or other matter that is not a
31 ministerial matter before a state agency during the reporting period."
32 In reviewing the request for an exemption, the joint commission or the
33 office of court administration may consult with bar or other profes-
34 sional associations and the legislative ethics commission for individ-
35 uals subject to its jurisdiction and may consider the rules of profes-
36 sional conduct. In making its determination, the joint commission or the
37 office of court administration shall conduct its own inquiry and shall
38 consider factors including, but not limited to: (i) the nature and the
39 size of the client; (ii) whether the client has any business before the
40 state; and if so, how significant the business is; and whether the
41 client has any particularized interest in pending legislation and if so
42 how significant the interest is; (iii) whether disclosure may reveal
43 trade secrets; (iv) whether disclosure could reasonably result in retal-
44 iation against the client; (v) whether disclosure may cause undue harm
45 to the client; (vi) whether disclosure may result in undue harm to the
46 attorney-client relationship; and (vii) whether disclosure may result in
47 an unnecessary invasion of privacy to the client.
48 The joint commission or, as the case may be, the office of court
49 administration shall promptly make a final determination in response to
50 such request, which shall include an explanation for its determination.
51 The office of court administration shall issue its final determination
52 within three days of receiving the request. Notwithstanding any other
53 provision of law or any professional disciplinary rule to the contrary,
54 the disclosure of the identity of any client or customer in response to
55 this question shall not constitute professional misconduct or a ground
56 for disciplinary action of any kind, or form the basis for any civil or
A. 3824 10
1 criminal cause of action or proceeding. A reporting individual who first
2 enters public office after January first, two thousand sixteen, need not
3 report clients or customers with respect to matters for which the
4 reporting individual or his or her firm was retained prior to entering

11 If the reporting individual receives income of ten thousand dollars or
12 greater from any employment or activity reportable under question 8(a),
13 identify each registered lobbyist who has directly referred to such
14 individual a client who was successfully referred to the reporting indi-
15 vidual's business and from whom the reporting individual or firm
16 received a fee for services in excess of five thousand dollars. Report
17 only those referrals that were made to a reporting individual by direct
18 communication from a person known to such reporting individual to be a
19 registered lobbyist at the time the referral is made. With respect to
20 each such referral, the reporting individual shall identify the client,
21 the registered lobbyist who has made the referral, the category of value
22 of the compensation received and a general description of the type of
23 matter so referred. A reporting individual need not disclose activities
24 performed while lawfully acting pursuant to paragraphs (c), (d), (e) and
25 (f) of subdivision seven of section seventy-three of this article. The
26 disclosure requirements in this question shall not require disclosing
27 clients or customers receiving medical, pharmaceutical or dental
28 services, mental health services, or residential real estate brokering
29 services from the reporting individual or his or her firm or if federal
30 law prohibits or limits disclosure. The reporting individual need not
31 identify any client to whom he or she or his or her firm provided legal
32 representation with respect to investigation or prosecution by law
33 enforcement authorities, bankruptcy, family court, estate planning, or
34 domestic relations matters, nor shall the reporting individual identify
35 individuals represented pursuant to an insurance policy but the report-
36 ing individual shall in such circumstances only report the entity that
37 provides compensation to the reporting individual; with respect to
38 matters in which the client's name is required by law to be kept confi-
39 dential (such as matters governed by the family court act) or in matters
40 in which the reporting individual represents or provides services to
41 minors, the client's name may be replaced with initials. To the extent
42 that the reporting individual, or his or her firm, provided legal repre-
43 sentation with respect to an initial public offering, and federal law or
44 regulations restricts the disclosure of information relating to such
45 work, the reporting individual shall (i) disclose the identity of the
46 client and the services provided relating to the initial public offering
47 to the office of court administration, who will maintain such informa-
48 tion confidentially in a locked box; and (ii) include in his or her
49 response a statement that pursuant to this paragraph, a disclosure to
50 the office of court administration has been made. Upon such time that
51 the disclosure of information maintained in the locked box is no longer
52 restricted by federal law or regulation, the reporting individual shall
53 disclose such information in an amended disclosure statement in response
54 to the disclosure requirements of this paragraph. The office of court
55 administration shall develop and maintain a secure portal through which
56 information submitted to it pursuant to this paragraph can be safely and
A. 3824 11
1 confidentially stored. With respect to clients represented in other
2 matters not otherwise exempt, the reporting individual may request an
3 exemption to publicly disclosing the name of that client from the joint
4 commission pursuant to paragraph (i-1) of subdivision nine of section
5 ninety-four of the executive law, or from the office of court adminis-
6 tration. In such application, the reporting individual shall state the
7 following: "My client is not currently receiving my services or seeking
8 my services in connection with:
9 (i) A proposed bill or resolution in the senate or assembly during the
10 reporting period;
11 (ii) A contract in an amount totaling $10,000 or more from the state
12 or any state agency for services, materials, or property;
13 (iii) A grant of $10,000 or more from the state or any state agency
14 during the reporting period;
15 (iv) A grant obtained through a legislative initiative during the
16 reporting period; or
17 (v) A case, proceeding, application or other matter that is not a
18 ministerial matter before a state agency during the reporting period."
19 In reviewing the request for an exemption, the joint commission or the
20 office of court administration may consult with bar or other profes-
21 sional associations and the legislative ethics commission for individ-
22 uals subject to its jurisdiction and may consider the rules of profes-
23 sional conduct. In making its determination, the joint commission or the
24 office of court administration shall conduct its own inquiry and shall
25 consider factors including, but not limited to: (i) the nature and the
26 size of the client; (ii) whether the client has any business before the
27 state; and if so, how significant the business is; and whether the
28 client has any particularized interest in pending legislation and if so
29 how significant the interest is; (iii) whether disclosure may reveal
30 trade secrets; (iv) whether disclosure could reasonably result in retal-
31 iation against the client; (v) whether disclosure may cause undue harm
32 to the client; (vi) whether disclosure may result in undue harm to the
33 attorney-client relationship; and (vii) whether disclosure may result in
34 an unnecessary invasion of privacy to the client.
35 The joint commission or, as the case may be, the office of court
36 administration shall promptly make a final determination in response to
37 such request, which shall include an explanation for its determination.
38 The office of court administration shall issue its final determination
39 within three days of receiving the request. Notwithstanding any other
40 provision of law or any professional disciplinary rule to the contrary,
41 the disclosure of the identity of any client or customer in response to
42 this question shall not constitute professional misconduct or a ground
43 for disciplinary action of any kind, or form the basis for any civil or
44 criminal cause of action or proceeding. A reporting individual who first
45 enters public office after December thirty-first, two thousand fifteen,
46 need not report clients or customers with respect to matters for which
47 the reporting individual or his or her firm was retained prior to enter-
48 ing public office.
