NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
BILL NUMBER: A3334
SPONSOR: McDonald TITLE OF BILL:
An act to amend the public officers law, in relation to electronic
financial disclosures of members and candidates of the legislature
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:
The purpose of this legislation is to increase transparency and accessi-
bility of financial disclosure statements for constituents and the elec-
torate to easily access them and search their contents.
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:
Section 1 of the bill amends Section 73-a (2) of the Public Officers Law
by adding
Section 2 of the bill adds a paragraph (b) that requires JCOPE to make
available an editable, electronic, readable, and searchable version of
the annual statement of financial disclosure to anyone required to
submit such forms.
Section 3 of the bill establishes the effective date.
JUSTIFICATION:
The Public Integrity Reform Act of 2011 required New York State govern-
ment officials and State legislative candidates to file financial
disclosure statements to the Joint Commission on Public Ethics (JCOPE)
on an annual basis. The financial disclosure statements must be submit-
ted to JCOPE by May 15 of each calendar year, where they are thoroughly
review by the commission. After the commission approves the statements
for public posting, JCOPE is required to post such statements on their
website by .June 30 of each calendar year. The intent of the act was to
comprehensively reform both the requirements and enforcement of public
ethics in the state.
I applaud the intent of the act for its efforts to restore public confi-
dence in our government by requiring the disclosure of outside income
sources of elected officials. Posting the statements on JCOPE's website
is a step in the right direction; however, providing the statements in a
searchable format allows the public to access the information with ease
and furthering the goal of transparency.
PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
2017-2018 A.6222/S.5477
2019-2020 A.3841
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
To be determined.
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately. Provided however section one
shall take effect on January 1, 2023.

8 A reporting individual need not disclose activities performed while
9 lawfully acting in his or her capacity as provided in paragraphs (c),
10 (d), (e) and (f) of subdivision seven of section seventy-three of this
11 article.
12 The disclosure requirement in questions (b-1) and (b-2) shall not
13 require disclosing clients or customers receiving medical, pharmaceu-
14 tical or dental services, mental health services, or residential real
15 estate brokering services from the reporting individual or his or her
16 firm or if federal law prohibits or limits disclosure. The reporting
17 individual need not identify any client to whom he or she or his or her
18 firm provided legal representation with respect to investigation or
19 prosecution by law enforcement authorities, bankruptcy, family court,
20 estate planning, or domestic relations matters, nor shall the reporting
21 individual identify individuals represented pursuant to an insurance
22 policy but the reporting individual shall in such circumstances only
23 report the entity that provides compensation to the reporting individ-
24 ual; with respect to matters in which the client's name is required by
25 law to be kept confidential (such as matters governed by the family
26 court act) or in matters in which the reporting individual represents or
27 provides services to minors, the client's name may be replaced with
28 initials. To the extent that the reporting individual, or his or her
29 firm, provided legal representation with respect to an initial public
30 offering, and professional disciplinary rules, federal law or regu-
31 lations restrict the disclosure of information relating to such work,
32 the reporting individual shall (i) disclose the identity of the client
33 and the services provided relating to the initial public offering to the
34 office of court administration, who will maintain such information
35 confidentially in a locked box; and (ii) include in his or her response
36 to questions (b-1) and (b-2) that pursuant to this paragraph, a disclo-
37 sure to the office of court administration has been made. Upon such time
38 that the disclosure of information maintained in the locked box is no
39 longer restricted by professional disciplinary rules, federal law or
40 regulation, the reporting individual shall disclose such information in
41 an amended disclosure statement in response to the disclosure require-
42 ments in questions (b-1) and (b-2). The office of court administration
43 shall develop and maintain a secure portal through which information
44 submitted to it pursuant to this paragraph can be safely and confiden-
45 tially stored. With respect to clients represented in other matters not
46 otherwise exempt, the reporting individual may request an exemption to
47 publicly disclosing the name of that client from the joint commission
48 pursuant to paragraph (i-1) of subdivision nine of section ninety-four
49 of the executive law, or from the office of court administration. In
50 such application, the reporting individual shall state the following:
51 "My client is not currently receiving my services or seeking my services
52 in connection with:
A. 3334 9
1 (i) A proposed bill or resolution in the senate or assembly during the
2 reporting period;
3 (ii) A contract in an amount totaling $10,000 or more from the state
4 or any state agency for services, materials, or property;
5 (iii) A grant of $10,000 or more from the state or any state agency
6 during the reporting period;
7 (iv) A grant obtained through a legislative initiative during the
8 reporting period; or
9 (v) A case, proceeding, application or other matter that is not a
10 ministerial matter before a state agency during the reporting period."
11 In reviewing the request for an exemption, the joint commission or the
12 office of court administration may consult with bar or other profes-
13 sional associations and the legislative ethics commission for individ-
14 uals subject to its jurisdiction and may consider the rules of profes-
15 sional conduct. In making its determination, the joint commission or the
16 office of court administration shall conduct its own inquiry and shall
17 consider factors including, but not limited to: (i) the nature and the
18 size of the client; (ii) whether the client has any business before the
19 state; and if so, how significant the business is; and whether the
20 client has any particularized interest in pending legislation and if so
21 how significant the interest is; (iii) whether disclosure may reveal
22 trade secrets; (iv) whether disclosure could reasonably result in retal-
23 iation against the client; (v) whether disclosure may cause undue harm
24 to the client; (vi) whether disclosure may result in undue harm to the
25 attorney-client relationship; and (vii) whether disclosure may result in
26 an unnecessary invasion of privacy to the client.
27 The joint commission or, as the case may be, the office of court
28 administration shall promptly make a final determination in response to
29 such request, which shall include an explanation for its determination.
30 The office of court administration shall issue its final determination
31 within three days of receiving the request. Notwithstanding any other
32 provision of law or any professional disciplinary rule to the contrary,
33 the disclosure of the identity of any client or customer in response to
34 this question shall not constitute professional misconduct or a ground
35 for disciplinary action of any kind, or form the basis for any civil or
36 criminal cause of action or proceeding. A reporting individual who first
37 enters public office after January first, two thousand sixteen, need not
38 report clients or customers with respect to matters for which the
39 reporting individual or his or her firm was retained prior to entering
40 public office.

47 greater from any employment or activity reportable under question 8(a),
48 identify each registered lobbyist who has directly referred to such
49 individual a client who was successfully referred to the reporting indi-

52 only those referrals that were made to a reporting individual by direct
53 communication from a person known to such reporting individual to be a

6 clients or customers receiving medical, pharmaceutical or dental
7 services, mental health services, or residential real estate brokering
8 services from the reporting individual or his or her firm or if federal
9 law prohibits or limits disclosure. The reporting individual need not
10 identify any client to whom he or she or his or her firm provided legal
11 representation with respect to investigation or prosecution by law
12 enforcement authorities, bankruptcy, family court, estate planning, or
13 domestic relations matters, nor shall the reporting individual identify
14 individuals represented pursuant to an insurance policy but the report-
15 ing individual shall in such circumstances only report the entity that
16 provides compensation to the reporting individual; with respect to
17 matters in which the client's name is required by law to be kept confi-
18 dential (such as matters governed by the family court act) or in matters
19 in which the reporting individual represents or provides services to
20 minors, the client's name may be replaced with initials. To the extent
21 that the reporting individual, or his or her firm, provided legal repre-
22 sentation with respect to an initial public offering, and federal law or
23 regulations restricts the disclosure of information relating to such
24 work, the reporting individual shall (i) disclose the identity of the
25 client and the services provided relating to the initial public offering
26 to the office of court administration, who will maintain such informa-
27 tion confidentially in a locked box; and (ii) include in his or her
28 response a statement that pursuant to this paragraph, a disclosure to
29 the office of court administration has been made. Upon such time that
30 the disclosure of information maintained in the locked box is no longer
31 restricted by federal law or regulation, the reporting individual shall
32 disclose such information in an amended disclosure statement in response
33 to the disclosure requirements of this paragraph. The office of court
34 administration shall develop and maintain a secure portal through which
35 information submitted to it pursuant to this paragraph can be safely and
36 confidentially stored. With respect to clients represented in other
37 matters not otherwise exempt, the reporting individual may request an
38 exemption to publicly disclosing the name of that client from the joint
39 commission pursuant to paragraph (i-1) of subdivision nine of section
40 ninety-four of the executive law, or from the office of court adminis-
41 tration. In such application, the reporting individual shall state the
42 following: "My client is not currently receiving my services or seeking
43 my services in connection with:
44 (i) A proposed bill or resolution in the senate or assembly during the
45 reporting period;
46 (ii) A contract in an amount totaling $10,000 or more from the state
47 or any state agency for services, materials, or property;
48 (iii) A grant of $10,000 or more from the state or any state agency
49 during the reporting period;
50 (iv) A grant obtained through a legislative initiative during the
51 reporting period; or
52 (v) A case, proceeding, application or other matter that is not a
53 ministerial matter before a state agency during the reporting period."
54 In reviewing the request for an exemption, the joint commission or the
55 office of court administration may consult with bar or other profes-
56 sional associations and the legislative ethics commission for individ-
A. 3334 11
1 uals subject to its jurisdiction and may consider the rules of profes-
2 sional conduct. In making its determination, the joint commission or the
3 office of court administration shall conduct its own inquiry and shall
4 consider factors including, but not limited to: (i) the nature and the
5 size of the client; (ii) whether the client has any business before the
6 state; and if so, how significant the business is; and whether the
7 client has any particularized interest in pending legislation and if so
8 how significant the interest is; (iii) whether disclosure may reveal
9 trade secrets; (iv) whether disclosure could reasonably result in retal-
10 iation against the client; (v) whether disclosure may cause undue harm
11 to the client; (vi) whether disclosure may result in undue harm to the
12 attorney-client relationship; and (vii) whether disclosure may result in
13 an unnecessary invasion of privacy to the client.
14 The joint commission or, as the case may be, the office of court
15 administration shall promptly make a final determination in response to
16 such request, which shall include an explanation for its determination.
17 The office of court administration shall issue its final determination
18 within three days of receiving the request. Notwithstanding any other
19 provision of law or any professional disciplinary rule to the contrary,
20 the disclosure of the identity of any client or customer in response to
21 this question shall not constitute professional misconduct or a ground
22 for disciplinary action of any kind, or form the basis for any civil or
23 criminal cause of action or proceeding. A reporting individual who first
24 enters public office after December thirty-first, two thousand fifteen,
25 need not report clients or customers with respect to matters for which
26 the reporting individual or his or her firm was retained prior to enter-
27 ing public office.
