17 A reporting individual need not disclose activities performed while
18 lawfully acting in [his or her] the reporting individual's capacity as
19 provided in paragraphs (c), (d), (e) and (f) of subdivision seven of
20 section seventy-three of this article.
21 The disclosure requirement in questions (b-1) and (b-2) shall not
22 require disclosing clients or customers receiving medical, pharmaceu-
23 tical or dental services, mental health services, or residential real
24 estate brokering services from the reporting individual or [his or her]
25 the reporting individual's firm or if federal law prohibits or limits
26 disclosure. The reporting individual need not identify any client to
27 whom [he or she] the reporting individual or [his or her] the reporting
28 individual's firm provided legal representation with respect to investi-
29 gation or prosecution by law enforcement authorities, bankruptcy, family
30 court, estate planning, or domestic relations matters, nor shall the
31 reporting individual identify individuals represented pursuant to an
32 insurance policy but the reporting individual shall in such circum-
33 stances only report the entity that provides compensation to the report-
34 ing individual; with respect to matters in which the client's name is
35 required by law to be kept confidential (such as matters governed by the
36 family court act) or in matters in which the reporting individual
37 represents or provides services to minors, the client's name may be
38 replaced with initials. To the extent that the reporting individual, or
39 [his or her] the reporting individual's firm, provided legal represen-
40 tation with respect to an initial public offering, and professional
41 disciplinary rules, federal law or regulations restrict the disclosure
42 of information relating to such work, the reporting individual shall (i)
43 disclose the identity of the client and the services provided relating
44 to the initial public offering to the office of court administration,
45 who will maintain such information confidentially in a locked box; and
46 (ii) include in [his or her] the reporting individual's response to
47 questions (b-1) and (b-2) that pursuant to this paragraph, a disclosure
48 to the office of court administration has been made. Upon such time that
49 the disclosure of information maintained in the locked box is no longer
50 restricted by professional disciplinary rules, federal law or regu-
51 lation, the reporting individual shall disclose such information in an
52 amended disclosure statement in response to the disclosure requirements
53 in questions (b-1) and (b-2). The office of court administration shall
S. 5234 9
1 develop and maintain a secure portal through which information submitted
2 to it pursuant to this paragraph can be safely and confidentially
3 stored. With respect to clients represented in other matters not other-
4 wise exempt, the reporting individual may request an exemption to
5 publicly disclosing the name of that client from the commission on
6 ethics and lobbying in government pursuant to section ninety-four of the
7 executive law, or from the office of court administration. In such
8 application, the reporting individual shall state the following: "My
9 client is not currently receiving my services or seeking my services in
10 connection with:
11 (i) A proposed bill or resolution in the senate or assembly during the
12 reporting period;
13 (ii) A contract in an amount totaling $10,000 or more from the state
14 or any state agency for services, materials, or property;
15 (iii) A grant of $10,000 or more from the state or any state agency
16 during the reporting period;
17 (iv) A grant obtained through a legislative initiative during the
18 reporting period; or
19 (v) A case, proceeding, application or other matter that is not a
20 ministerial matter before a state agency during the reporting period."
21 In reviewing the request for an exemption, the commission on ethics
22 and lobbying in government or the office of court administration may
23 consult with bar or other professional associations and the legislative
24 ethics commission for individuals subject to its jurisdiction and may
25 consider the rules of professional conduct. In making its determination,
26 the commission on ethics and lobbying in government or the office of
27 court administration shall conduct its own inquiry and shall consider
28 factors including, but not limited to: (i) the nature and the size of
29 the client; (ii) whether the client has any business before the state;
30 and if so, how significant the business is; and whether the client has
31 any particularized interest in pending legislation and if so how signif-
32 icant the interest is; (iii) whether disclosure may reveal trade
33 secrets; (iv) whether disclosure could reasonably result in retaliation
34 against the client; (v) whether disclosure may cause undue harm to the
35 client; (vi) whether disclosure may result in undue harm to the attor-
36 ney-client relationship; and (vii) whether disclosure may result in an
37 unnecessary invasion of privacy to the client.
38 The commission on ethics and lobbying in government or, as the case
39 may be, the office of court administration shall promptly make a final
40 determination in response to such request, which shall include an expla-
41 nation for its determination. The office of court administration shall
42 issue its final determination within three days of receiving the
43 request. Notwithstanding any other provision of law or any professional
44 disciplinary rule to the contrary, the disclosure of the identity of any
45 client or customer in response to this question shall not constitute
46 professional misconduct or a ground for disciplinary action of any kind,
47 or form the basis for any civil or criminal cause of action or proceed-
48 ing. A reporting individual who first enters public office after January
49 first, two thousand sixteen, need not report clients or customers with
50 respect to matters for which the reporting individual or [his or her]
51 the reporting individual's firm was retained prior to entering public
52 office.

4 greater from any employment or activity reportable under question 8(a),
5 identify each registered lobbyist who has directly referred to such
6 individual a client who was successfully referred to the reporting indi-
7 vidual's business and from whom the reporting individual or firm
8 received a fee for services in excess of five thousand dollars. Report
9 only those referrals that were made to a reporting individual by direct
10 communication from a person known to such reporting individual to be a
11 registered lobbyist at the time the referral is made. With respect to
12 each such referral, the reporting individual shall identify the client,
13 the registered lobbyist who has made the referral, the category of value
14 of the compensation received and a general description of the type of
15 matter so referred. A reporting individual need not disclose activities
16 performed while lawfully acting pursuant to paragraphs (c), (d), (e) and
17 (f) of subdivision seven of section seventy-three of this article. The
18 disclosure requirements in this question shall not require disclosing
19 clients or customers receiving medical, pharmaceutical or dental
20 services, mental health services, or residential real estate brokering
21 services from the reporting individual or [his or her] the reporting
22 individual's firm or if federal law prohibits or limits disclosure. The
23 reporting individual need not identify any client to whom [he or she]
24 the reporting individual or [his or her] the reporting individual's firm
25 provided legal representation with respect to investigation or prose-
26 cution by law enforcement authorities, bankruptcy, family court, estate
27 planning, or domestic relations matters, nor shall the reporting indi-
28 vidual identify individuals represented pursuant to an insurance policy
29 but the reporting individual shall in such circumstances only report the
30 entity that provides compensation to the reporting individual; with
31 respect to matters in which the client's name is required by law to be
32 kept confidential (such as matters governed by the family court act) or
33 in matters in which the reporting individual represents or provides
34 services to minors, the client's name may be replaced with initials. To
35 the extent that the reporting individual, or [his or her] the reporting
36 individual's firm, provided legal representation with respect to an
37 initial public offering, and federal law or regulations restricts the
38 disclosure of information relating to such work, the reporting individ-
39 ual shall (i) disclose the identity of the client and the services
40 provided relating to the initial public offering to the office of court
41 administration, who will maintain such information confidentially in a
42 locked box; and (ii) include in [his or her] the reporting individual's
43 response a statement that pursuant to this paragraph, a disclosure to
44 the office of court administration has been made. Upon such time that
45 the disclosure of information maintained in the locked box is no longer
46 restricted by federal law or regulation, the reporting individual shall
47 disclose such information in an amended disclosure statement in response
48 to the disclosure requirements of this paragraph. The office of court
49 administration shall develop and maintain a secure portal through which
50 information submitted to it pursuant to this paragraph can be safely and
51 confidentially stored. With respect to clients represented in other
52 matters not otherwise exempt, the reporting individual may request an
53 exemption to publicly disclosing the name of that client from the
54 commission on ethics and lobbying in government pursuant to section
55 ninety-four of the executive law, or from the office of court adminis-
56 tration. In such application, the reporting individual shall state the
S. 5234 11
1 following: "My client is not currently receiving my services or seeking
2 my services in connection with:
3 (i) A proposed bill or resolution in the senate or assembly during the
4 reporting period;
5 (ii) A contract in an amount totaling $10,000 or more from the state
6 or any state agency for services, materials, or property;
7 (iii) A grant of $10,000 or more from the state or any state agency
8 during the reporting period;
9 (iv) A grant obtained through a legislative initiative during the
10 reporting period; or
11 (v) A case, proceeding, application or other matter that is not a
12 ministerial matter before a state agency during the reporting period."
13 In reviewing the request for an exemption, the commission on ethics
14 and lobbying in government or the office of court administration may
15 consult with bar or other professional associations and the legislative
16 ethics commission for individuals subject to its jurisdiction and may
17 consider the rules of professional conduct. In making its determination,
18 the commission on ethics and lobbying in government or the office of
19 court administration shall conduct its own inquiry and shall consider
20 factors including, but not limited to: (i) the nature and the size of
21 the client; (ii) whether the client has any business before the state;
22 and if so, how significant the business is; and whether the client has
23 any particularized interest in pending legislation and if so how signif-
24 icant the interest is; (iii) whether disclosure may reveal trade
25 secrets; (iv) whether disclosure could reasonably result in retaliation
26 against the client; (v) whether disclosure may cause undue harm to the
27 client; (vi) whether disclosure may result in undue harm to the attor-
28 ney-client relationship; and (vii) whether disclosure may result in an
29 unnecessary invasion of privacy to the client.
30 The commission on ethics and lobbying in government or, as the case
31 may be, the office of court administration shall promptly make a final
32 determination in response to such request, which shall include an expla-
33 nation for its determination. The office of court administration shall
34 issue its final determination within three days of receiving the
35 request. Notwithstanding any other provision of law or any professional
36 disciplinary rule to the contrary, the disclosure of the identity of any
37 client or customer in response to this question shall not constitute
38 professional misconduct or a ground for disciplinary action of any kind,
39 or form the basis for any civil or criminal cause of action or proceed-
40 ing. A reporting individual who first enters public office after Decem-
41 ber thirty-first, two thousand fifteen, need not report clients or
42 customers with respect to matters for which the reporting individual or
43 [his or her] the reporting individual's firm was retained prior to
