          already  available  from  a  previous request made within the past six
          months

          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section  1.  Subparagraph  iii  of  paragraph  (b) of subdivision 1 of
     2  section 87 of the public officers law, as amended by a  chapter  of  the
     3  laws  of  2022  amending the public officers law relating to prohibiting
     4  agencies from charging a fee for records where  an  electronic  copy  is
     5  already  available  from  a  previous  request  made within the past six
     6  months, as proposed in  legislative  bills  numbers  S.  4863-A  and  A.
     7  4677-A, is amended to read as follows:
     8    iii. except when a different fee is otherwise prescribed by statute:
     9    (1)  the  fees  for  paper  copies of records [which] shall not exceed
    10  twenty-five cents per photocopy not in excess of nine inches by fourteen
    11  inches, or the actual cost of reproducing any other record in accordance
    12  with the provisions of paragraph (c) of this subdivision[, except when a
    13  different fee is otherwise prescribed by statute].
    14    (2) In the case where an identical record  has  been  prepared  for  a
    15  previous  request  within  the  past  6 months and an electronic copy is
    16  available, an agency shall not charge a fee[. If more than  one  request
    17  is  made  for  an  identical  record  before  any  such request has been
    18  fulfilled, any fees charged by the agency under this subparagraph  shall
    19  be  apportioned  equally  among  the requestors] for the reproduction of
    20  such record, except for the actual cost of a storage device or media  if
    21  one is provided to the requester in complying with such request.
    22    §  2.  This  act  shall  take  effect on the same date and in the same
    23  manner as a chapter of the laws of 2022 amending the public officers law
