NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
BILL NUMBER: A3469A
SPONSOR: McDonald TITLE OF BILL:
An act to amend the public officers law, in relation to requiring legis-
lators and candidates for member of the legislature to provide a link to
their financial disclosure statements on their official state and
campaign websites
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:
The purpose of this legislation is to increase transparency and to
educate the public about who represents them by requiring members of the
legislature and candidates for such elected office to post their finan-
cial disclosure statements in visible domains for constituents and the
electorate to easily access them.
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:
Section 1 of the bill amends Section 73-a (2) of the Public Officers Law
by adding new subparagraphs (ii) and (iii), which would require every
member of the legislature and legislative candidate who maintain any
website for service in their official state or campaign capacities to
post their annual financial disclosure statements on such websites.
Section 2 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. The intent of the act is laudable for its efforts
to restore public confidence in our government by requiring the disclo-
sure of outside income sources of elected officials. However, there
appears to be a gap between the posting of statements on JCOPE's website
and the accessibility for the public to find such statements.
This legislation seeks to remedy the issue by requiring State legisla-
tors and State legislative candidates to post their annual financial
disclosure forms, which have already been reviewed and approved by JCOPE
for public posting, on their official state and campaign websites. It is
vital to increase the transparency of our government and to educate
constituents and the electorate about who represents them. Access to the
outside income of our elected officials and candidates for such offices
will promote the much-needed public trust in this state.

32 A reporting individual need not disclose activities performed while
33 lawfully acting in his or her capacity as provided in paragraphs (c),
34 (d), (e) and (f) of subdivision seven of section seventy-three of this
35 article.
36 The disclosure requirement in questions (b-1) and (b-2) shall not
37 require disclosing clients or customers receiving medical, pharmaceu-
38 tical or dental services, mental health services, or residential real
39 estate brokering services from the reporting individual or his or her
40 firm or if federal law prohibits or limits disclosure. The reporting
41 individual need not identify any client to whom he or she or his or her
42 firm provided legal representation with respect to investigation or
43 prosecution by law enforcement authorities, bankruptcy, family court,
44 estate planning, or domestic relations matters, nor shall the reporting
45 individual identify individuals represented pursuant to an insurance
46 policy but the reporting individual shall in such circumstances only
47 report the entity that provides compensation to the reporting individ-
A. 3469--A 9
1 ual; with respect to matters in which the client's name is required by
2 law to be kept confidential (such as matters governed by the family
3 court act) or in matters in which the reporting individual represents or
4 provides services to minors, the client's name may be replaced with
5 initials. To the extent that the reporting individual, or his or her
6 firm, provided legal representation with respect to an initial public
7 offering, and professional disciplinary rules, federal law or regu-
8 lations restrict the disclosure of information relating to such work,
9 the reporting individual shall (i) disclose the identity of the client
10 and the services provided relating to the initial public offering to the
11 office of court administration, who will maintain such information
12 confidentially in a locked box; and (ii) include in his or her response
13 to questions (b-1) and (b-2) that pursuant to this paragraph, a disclo-
14 sure to the office of court administration has been made. Upon such time
15 that the disclosure of information maintained in the locked box is no
16 longer restricted by professional disciplinary rules, federal law or
17 regulation, the reporting individual shall disclose such information in
18 an amended disclosure statement in response to the disclosure require-
19 ments in questions (b-1) and (b-2). The office of court administration
20 shall develop and maintain a secure portal through which information
21 submitted to it pursuant to this paragraph can be safely and confiden-
22 tially stored. With respect to clients represented in other matters not
23 otherwise exempt, the reporting individual may request an exemption to
24 publicly disclosing the name of that client from the commission on
25 ethics and lobbying in government pursuant to section ninety-four of the
26 executive law, or from the office of court administration. In such
27 application, the reporting individual shall state the following: "My
28 client is not currently receiving my services or seeking my services in
29 connection with:
30 (i) A proposed bill or resolution in the senate or assembly during the
31 reporting period;
32 (ii) A contract in an amount totaling $10,000 or more from the state
33 or any state agency for services, materials, or property;
34 (iii) A grant of $10,000 or more from the state or any state agency
35 during the reporting period;
36 (iv) A grant obtained through a legislative initiative during the
37 reporting period; or
38 (v) A case, proceeding, application or other matter that is not a
39 ministerial matter before a state agency during the reporting period."
40 In reviewing the request for an exemption, the commission on ethics
41 and lobbying in government or the office of court administration may
42 consult with bar or other professional associations and the legislative
43 ethics commission for individuals subject to its jurisdiction and may
44 consider the rules of professional conduct. In making its determination,
45 the commission on ethics and lobbying in government or the office of
46 court administration shall conduct its own inquiry and shall consider
47 factors including, but not limited to: (i) the nature and the size of
48 the client; (ii) whether the client has any business before the state;
49 and if so, how significant the business is; and whether the client has
50 any particularized interest in pending legislation and if so how signif-
51 icant the interest is; (iii) whether disclosure may reveal trade
52 secrets; (iv) whether disclosure could reasonably result in retaliation
53 against the client; (v) whether disclosure may cause undue harm to the
54 client; (vi) whether disclosure may result in undue harm to the attor-
55 ney-client relationship; and (vii) whether disclosure may result in an
56 unnecessary invasion of privacy to the client.
A. 3469--A 10
1 The commission on ethics and lobbying in government or, as the case
2 may be, the office of court administration shall promptly make a final

10 or form the basis for any civil or criminal cause of action or proceed-
11 ing. A reporting individual who first enters public office after January

20 If the reporting individual receives income of ten thousand dollars or
21 greater from any employment or activity reportable under question 8(a),
22 identify each registered lobbyist who has directly referred to such
23 individual a client who was successfully referred to the reporting indi-
24 vidual's business and from whom the reporting individual or firm
25 received a fee for services in excess of five thousand dollars. Report
26 only those referrals that were made to a reporting individual by direct
27 communication from a person known to such reporting individual to be a
28 registered lobbyist at the time the referral is made. With respect to
29 each such referral, the reporting individual shall identify the client,
30 the registered lobbyist who has made the referral, the category of value
31 of the compensation received and a general description of the type of
32 matter so referred. A reporting individual need not disclose activities
33 performed while lawfully acting pursuant to paragraphs (c), (d), (e) and
34 (f) of subdivision seven of section seventy-three of this article. The
35 disclosure requirements in this question shall not require disclosing
36 clients or customers receiving medical, pharmaceutical or dental
37 services, mental health services, or residential real estate brokering
38 services from the reporting individual or his or her firm or if federal
39 law prohibits or limits disclosure. The reporting individual need not
40 identify any client to whom he or she or his or her firm provided legal
41 representation with respect to investigation or prosecution by law
42 enforcement authorities, bankruptcy, family court, estate planning, or
43 domestic relations matters, nor shall the reporting individual identify
44 individuals represented pursuant to an insurance policy but the report-
45 ing individual shall in such circumstances only report the entity that
46 provides compensation to the reporting individual; with respect to
47 matters in which the client's name is required by law to be kept confi-
48 dential (such as matters governed by the family court act) or in matters
49 in which the reporting individual represents or provides services to
50 minors, the client's name may be replaced with initials. To the extent
51 that the reporting individual, or his or her firm, provided legal repre-
52 sentation with respect to an initial public offering, and federal law or
53 regulations restricts the disclosure of information relating to such
54 work, the reporting individual shall (i) disclose the identity of the
55 client and the services provided relating to the initial public offering
56 to the office of court administration, who will maintain such informa-
A. 3469--A 11
1 tion confidentially in a locked box; and (ii) include in his or her
2 response a statement that pursuant to this paragraph, a disclosure to
3 the office of court administration has been made. Upon such time that
4 the disclosure of information maintained in the locked box is no longer
5 restricted by federal law or regulation, the reporting individual shall
6 disclose such information in an amended disclosure statement in response
7 to the disclosure requirements of this paragraph. The office of court
8 administration shall develop and maintain a secure portal through which
9 information submitted to it pursuant to this paragraph can be safely and
10 confidentially stored. With respect to clients represented in other
11 matters not otherwise exempt, the reporting individual may request an
12 exemption to publicly disclosing the name of that client from the
13 commission on ethics and lobbying in government pursuant to section
14 ninety-four of the executive law, or from the office of court adminis-
15 tration. In such application, the reporting individual shall state the
16 following: "My client is not currently receiving my services or seeking
17 my services in connection with:
18 (i) A proposed bill or resolution in the senate or assembly during the
19 reporting period;
20 (ii) A contract in an amount totaling $10,000 or more from the state
21 or any state agency for services, materials, or property;
22 (iii) A grant of $10,000 or more from the state or any state agency
23 during the reporting period;
24 (iv) A grant obtained through a legislative initiative during the
25 reporting period; or
26 (v) A case, proceeding, application or other matter that is not a
27 ministerial matter before a state agency during the reporting period."
28 In reviewing the request for an exemption, the commission on ethics
29 and lobbying in government or the office of court administration may
30 consult with bar or other professional associations and the legislative
31 ethics commission for individuals subject to its jurisdiction and may
32 consider the rules of professional conduct. In making its determination,
33 the commission on ethics and lobbying in government or the office of
34 court administration shall conduct its own inquiry and shall consider
35 factors including, but not limited to: (i) the nature and the size of
36 the client; (ii) whether the client has any business before the state;
37 and if so, how significant the business is; and whether the client has
38 any particularized interest in pending legislation and if so how signif-
39 icant the interest is; (iii) whether disclosure may reveal trade
40 secrets; (iv) whether disclosure could reasonably result in retaliation
41 against the client; (v) whether disclosure may cause undue harm to the
42 client; (vi) whether disclosure may result in undue harm to the attor-
43 ney-client relationship; and (vii) whether disclosure may result in an
44 unnecessary invasion of privacy to the client.
45 The commission on ethics and lobbying in government or, as the case
46 may be, the office of court administration shall promptly make a final
47 determination in response to such request, which shall include an expla-
48 nation for its determination. The office of court administration shall
49 issue its final determination within three days of receiving the
50 request. Notwithstanding any other provision of law or any professional
51 disciplinary rule to the contrary, the disclosure of the identity of any
52 client or customer in response to this question shall not constitute
53 professional misconduct or a ground for disciplinary action of any kind,
54 or form the basis for any civil or criminal cause of action or proceed-
55 ing. A reporting individual who first enters public office after Decem-
56 ber thirty-first, two thousand fifteen, need not report clients or
