     3  to read as follows:
     4    (c)  a  reasonably  detailed  current  list  by  subject matter of all
     5  records in the possession of the agency, whether or not available  under
     6  this article. Each agency shall update its subject matter list annually,
     7  and  the date of the most recent update shall be conspicuously indicated
     8  on the list. Each state agency as defined in subdivision  four  of  this
     9  section  shall  provide  a  copy of its current list without charge to a
    10  person who requests it, and shall transmit a copy of its current list to
    11  the committee on open government within thirty  days  of  updating  such
    12  list.  Each  such  state  agency that maintains a website shall post its
    13  current list on its website [and such posting shall  be  linked  to  the
    14  website  of  the committee on open government. Any such agency that does
    15  not maintain a website shall arrange to have  its  list  posted  on  the
    16  website  of  the  committee on open government]. In its annual report to
    17  the governor and the legislature, the committee on open government shall
    18  identify any state agency that has not transmitted  an  updated  subject
    19  matter list as required by this paragraph.
    20    §  2.  Notwithstanding  the provisions of section one of this act, the
    21  department  of  corrections  and  community  supervision  shall  not  be
    22  required  to  make  copies of its current list of all records by subject
    23  matter available to inmates without charge, provided that  one  or  more
    24  copies  of such list is available to inmates without charge and provided
