38 A reporting individual need not disclose activities performed while
39 lawfully acting in [his or her] the reporting individual's capacity as
40 provided in paragraphs (c), (d), (e) and (f) of subdivision seven of
41 section seventy-three of this article.
42 The disclosure requirement in questions (b-1) and (b-2) shall not
43 require disclosing clients or customers receiving medical, pharmaceu-
44 tical or dental services, mental health services, or residential real
45 estate brokering services from the reporting individual or [his or her]
46 the reporting individual's firm or if federal law prohibits or limits
47 disclosure. The reporting individual need not identify any client to
A. 2578--A 9
1 whom [he or she] the reporting individual or [his or her] the reporting
2 individual's firm provided legal representation with respect to investi-
3 gation or prosecution by law enforcement authorities, bankruptcy, family
4 court, estate planning, or domestic relations matters, nor shall the
5 reporting individual identify individuals represented pursuant to an
6 insurance policy but the reporting individual shall in such circum-
7 stances only report the entity that provides compensation to the report-
8 ing individual; with respect to matters in which the client's name is
9 required by law to be kept confidential (such as matters governed by the
10 family court act) or in matters in which the reporting individual
11 represents or provides services to minors, the client's name may be
12 replaced with initials. To the extent that the reporting individual, or
13 [his or her] the reporting individual's firm, provided legal represen-
14 tation with respect to an initial public offering, and professional
15 disciplinary rules, federal law or regulations restrict the disclosure
16 of information relating to such work, the reporting individual shall (i)
17 disclose the identity of the client and the services provided relating
18 to the initial public offering to the office of court administration,
19 who will maintain such information confidentially in a locked box; and
20 (ii) include in [his or her] the reporting individual's response to
21 questions (b-1) and (b-2) that pursuant to this paragraph, a disclosure
22 to the office of court administration has been made. Upon such time that
23 the disclosure of information maintained in the locked box is no longer
24 restricted by professional disciplinary rules, federal law or regu-
25 lation, the reporting individual shall disclose such information in an
26 amended disclosure statement in response to the disclosure requirements
27 in questions (b-1) and (b-2). The office of court administration shall
28 develop and maintain a secure portal through which information submitted
29 to it pursuant to this paragraph can be safely and confidentially
30 stored. With respect to clients represented in other matters not other-
31 wise exempt, the reporting individual may request an exemption to
32 publicly disclosing the name of that client from the commission on
33 ethics and lobbying in government pursuant to section ninety-four of the
34 executive law, or from the office of court administration. In such
35 application, the reporting individual shall state the following: "My
36 client is not currently receiving my services or seeking my services in
37 connection with:
38 (i) A proposed bill or resolution in the senate or assembly during the
39 reporting period;
40 (ii) A contract in an amount totaling $10,000 or more from the state
41 or any state agency for services, materials, or property;
42 (iii) A grant of $10,000 or more from the state or any state agency
43 during the reporting period;
44 (iv) A grant obtained through a legislative initiative during the
45 reporting period; or
46 (v) A case, proceeding, application or other matter that is not a
47 ministerial matter before a state agency during the reporting period."
48 In reviewing the request for an exemption, the commission on ethics
49 and lobbying in government or the office of court administration may
50 consult with bar or other professional associations and the legislative
51 ethics commission for individuals subject to its jurisdiction and may
52 consider the rules of professional conduct. In making its determination,
53 the commission on ethics and lobbying in government or the office of
54 court administration shall conduct its own inquiry and shall consider
55 factors including, but not limited to: (i) the nature and the size of
56 the client; (ii) whether the client has any business before the state;
A. 2578--A 10
1 and if so, how significant the business is; and whether the client has
2 any particularized interest in pending legislation and if so how signif-
3 icant the interest is; (iii) whether disclosure may reveal trade
4 secrets; (iv) whether disclosure could reasonably result in retaliation
5 against the client; (v) whether disclosure may cause undue harm to the
6 client; (vi) whether disclosure may result in undue harm to the attor-
7 ney-client relationship; and (vii) whether disclosure may result in an
8 unnecessary invasion of privacy to the client.
9 The commission on ethics and lobbying in government or, as the case
10 may be, the office of court administration shall promptly make a final
11 determination in response to such request, which shall include an expla-
12 nation for its determination. The office of court administration shall
13 issue its final determination within three days of receiving the
14 request. Notwithstanding any other provision of law or any professional
15 disciplinary rule to the contrary, the disclosure of the identity of any
16 client or customer in response to this question shall not constitute
17 professional misconduct or a ground for disciplinary action of any kind,
18 or form the basis for any civil or criminal cause of action or proceed-
19 ing. A reporting individual who first enters public office after January
20 first, two thousand sixteen, need not report clients or customers with
21 respect to matters for which the reporting individual or [his or her]
22 the reporting individual's firm was retained prior to entering public
23 office.

29 If the reporting individual receives income of ten thousand dollars or
30 greater from any employment or activity reportable under question 8(a),
31 identify each registered lobbyist who has directly referred to such
32 individual a client who was successfully referred to the reporting indi-
33 vidual's business and from whom the reporting individual or firm

35 only those referrals that were made to a reporting individual by direct
36 communication from a person known to such reporting individual to be a
37 registered lobbyist at the time the referral is made. With respect to
38 each such referral, the reporting individual shall identify the client,
39 the registered lobbyist who has made the referral, the category of value
40 of the compensation received and a general description of the type of
41 matter so referred. A reporting individual need not disclose activities
42 performed while lawfully acting pursuant to paragraphs (c), (d), (e) and
43 (f) of subdivision seven of section seventy-three of this article. The
44 disclosure requirements in this question shall not require disclosing
45 clients or customers receiving medical, pharmaceutical or dental

47 services from the reporting individual or [his or her] the reporting
48 individual's firm or if federal law prohibits or limits disclosure. The
49 reporting individual need not identify any client to whom [he or she]
50 the reporting individual or [his or her] the reporting individual's firm
51 provided legal representation with respect to investigation or prose-
52 cution by law enforcement authorities, bankruptcy, family court, estate

1 respect to matters in which the client's name is required by law to be
2 kept confidential (such as matters governed by the family court act) or
3 in matters in which the reporting individual represents or provides
4 services to minors, the client's name may be replaced with initials. To
5 the extent that the reporting individual, or [his or her] the reporting
6 individual's firm, provided legal representation with respect to an
7 initial public offering, and federal law or regulations restricts the
8 disclosure of information relating to such work, the reporting individ-
9 ual shall (i) disclose the identity of the client and the services
10 provided relating to the initial public offering to the office of court
11 administration, who will maintain such information confidentially in a
12 locked box; and (ii) include in [his or her] the reporting individual's
13 response a statement that pursuant to this paragraph, a disclosure to
14 the office of court administration has been made. Upon such time that
15 the disclosure of information maintained in the locked box is no longer
16 restricted by federal law or regulation, the reporting individual shall
17 disclose such information in an amended disclosure statement in response
18 to the disclosure requirements of this paragraph. The office of court
19 administration shall develop and maintain a secure portal through which
20 information submitted to it pursuant to this paragraph can be safely and
21 confidentially stored. With respect to clients represented in other
22 matters not otherwise exempt, the reporting individual may request an
23 exemption to publicly disclosing the name of that client from the
24 commission on ethics and lobbying in government pursuant to section
25 ninety-four of the executive law, or from the office of court adminis-
26 tration. In such application, the reporting individual shall state the
27 following: "My client is not currently receiving my services or seeking
28 my services in connection with:
29 (i) A proposed bill or resolution in the senate or assembly during the
30 reporting period;
31 (ii) A contract in an amount totaling $10,000 or more from the state
32 or any state agency for services, materials, or property;
33 (iii) A grant of $10,000 or more from the state or any state agency
34 during the reporting period;
35 (iv) A grant obtained through a legislative initiative during the
36 reporting period; or
37 (v) A case, proceeding, application or other matter that is not a
38 ministerial matter before a state agency during the reporting period."
39 In reviewing the request for an exemption, the commission on ethics
40 and lobbying in government or the office of court administration may
41 consult with bar or other professional associations and the legislative
42 ethics commission for individuals subject to its jurisdiction and may
43 consider the rules of professional conduct. In making its determination,
44 the commission on ethics and lobbying in government or the office of
45 court administration shall conduct its own inquiry and shall consider
46 factors including, but not limited to: (i) the nature and the size of
47 the client; (ii) whether the client has any business before the state;
48 and if so, how significant the business is; and whether the client has
49 any particularized interest in pending legislation and if so how signif-
50 icant the interest is; (iii) whether disclosure may reveal trade
51 secrets; (iv) whether disclosure could reasonably result in retaliation
52 against the client; (v) whether disclosure may cause undue harm to the
53 client; (vi) whether disclosure may result in undue harm to the attor-
54 ney-client relationship; and (vii) whether disclosure may result in an
55 unnecessary invasion of privacy to the client.
A. 2578--A 12
1 The commission on ethics and lobbying in government or, as the case
2 may be, the office of court administration shall promptly make a final
3 determination in response to such request, which shall include an expla-
4 nation for its determination. The office of court administration shall
5 issue its final determination within three days of receiving the
6 request. Notwithstanding any other provision of law or any professional
7 disciplinary rule to the contrary, the disclosure of the identity of any
8 client or customer in response to this question shall not constitute
9 professional misconduct or a ground for disciplinary action of any kind,
10 or form the basis for any civil or criminal cause of action or proceed-
11 ing. A reporting individual who first enters public office after Decem-
12 ber thirty-first, two thousand fifteen, need not report clients or
13 customers with respect to matters for which the reporting individual or
14 [his or her] the reporting individual's firm was retained prior to
