     6    (1)  require that each director, as defined in paragraph six of subdi-
     7  vision (a) of section one hundred two of this chapter, receive a copy of
     8  section seven hundred fifteen of this chapter; and
     9    (2) provide an annual report to the members or to the governing board,

    12  voted  on by the board of directors that were considered a related party
    13  transaction pursuant to section seven hundred fifteen of this chapter.
    14    (b) The annual report required by  subdivision  (a)  of  this  section
    15  shall include, but not be limited to, the following:
    16    (1)  a  list  of  all  contracts  voted  on by the board of directors,

     6    (c) If the annual report required by paragraph two of subdivision  (a)

     8  contain  no  information  because of the absence of any actions taken by
     9  the board that would otherwise qualify  for  inclusion  in  such  annual
    10  report,  then  the  board  shall instead submit to the members or to the
    11  governing board, if there are no members, a  document,  signed  by  each
    12  director, indicating: "No actions taken by the board were subject to the
    13  annual  report  required pursuant to section 519-a of the Not-for-Profit
