        AN ACT to amend the public officers law, in  relation  to  limiting  the
          amount of time to appeal certain judgments regarding freedom of infor-
          mation violations
 

          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section 1. Subdivision 4 of section 89 of the public officers  law  is
     2  amended by adding a new paragraph (d) to read as follows:
     3    (d) Appeal to the appellate division of the supreme court must be made
     4  in  accordance  with  law,  and  must  be filed within thirty days after
     5  service by a party upon the appellant of a copy of the judgment or order
     6  appealed from and written notice of its entry. An appeal taken  from  an
     7  order  of  the  court  requiring disclosure of any or all records sought
     8  shall be given preference, shall be brought  on  for  argument  on  such
     9  terms  and  conditions as the presiding justice may direct upon applica-

    10  tion of any party to the proceeding, and shall be deemed abandoned  when
    11  an  agency  fails to serve and file a record and brief within two months
    12  after the date of the notice of appeal.
    13    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
