A01609 Memo:

NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
 
BILL NUMBER: A1609
 
SPONSOR: McDonald (MS)
  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 requires New York State govern- ment officials and State legislative candidates to file financial disclosure statements to the Commission on Ethics and Lobbying in Government ("CELG" formerly JCOPE) on an annual basis. The financial disclosure statements must be submitted to CELG by May 15 of each calen- dar year, where they are thoroughly review by the commission. After the commission approves the statements for public posting, CELG 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 disclosure of outside income sources of elected officials. However, there appears to be a gap between the post- ing of statements on CELG'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 CELG 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.   PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: 2017/2018: S.4726 Referred to Finance 2019/2020: S.1007 Referred to Finance 2021-2022: A.3469A   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: To be determined.   EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect immediately, however that Section 2 of this act shall take effect on January 1, 2024.

    27  mental health services, residential real estate brokering  services,  or
    28  insurance brokering services from the reporting individual or his or her

    30  or she or his or her firm provided legal representation with respect  to
    31  investigation or prosecution by law enforcement authorities, bankruptcy,
    32  or  domestic  relations  matters. With respect to clients represented in
    33  other matters, where disclosure of a  client's  identity  is  likely  to
    34  cause harm, the reporting individual shall request an exemption from the
    35  commission  on  ethics  and  lobbying  in government pursuant to section
    36  ninety-four of the executive law, provided, however,  that  a  reporting
    37  individual who first enters public office after July first, two thousand
    38  twelve, need not report clients or customers with respect to matters for
    39  which  the reporting individual or his or her firm was retained prior to

    27    A  reporting  individual  need not disclose activities performed while
    28  lawfully acting in his or her capacity as provided  in  paragraphs  (c),
    29  (d),  (e)  and (f) of subdivision seven of section seventy-three of this
    30  article.
    31  The disclosure requirement  in  questions  (b-1)  and  (b-2)  shall  not
    32  require  disclosing  clients  or customers receiving medical, pharmaceu-
    33  tical or dental services, mental health services,  or  residential  real
    34  estate  brokering  services  from the reporting individual or his or her
    35  firm or if federal law prohibits or  limits  disclosure.  The  reporting
    36  individual  need not identify any client to whom he or she or his or her
    37  firm provided legal representation  with  respect  to  investigation  or
    38  prosecution  by  law  enforcement authorities, bankruptcy, family court,
    39  estate planning, or domestic relations matters, nor shall the  reporting
    40  individual  identify  individuals  represented  pursuant to an insurance
    41  policy but the reporting individual shall  in  such  circumstances  only
    42  report  the  entity that provides compensation to the reporting individ-
    43  ual; with respect to matters in which the client's name is  required  by
    44  law  to  be  kept  confidential  (such as matters governed by the family
    45  court act) or in matters in which the reporting individual represents or
    46  provides services to minors, the client's  name  may  be  replaced  with
    47  initials.  To  the  extent  that the reporting individual, or his or her

        A. 1609                             9
 
     1  firm, provided legal representation with respect to  an  initial  public
     2  offering,  and  professional  disciplinary  rules,  federal law or regu-
     3  lations restrict the disclosure of information relating  to  such  work,
     4  the  reporting  individual shall (i) disclose the identity of the client
     5  and the services provided relating to the initial public offering to the
     6  office of court  administration,  who  will  maintain  such  information
     7  confidentially  in a locked box; and (ii) include in his or her response
     8  to questions (b-1) and (b-2) that pursuant to this paragraph, a  disclo-
     9  sure to the office of court administration has been made. Upon such time
    10  that  the  disclosure  of information maintained in the locked box is no
    11  longer restricted by professional disciplinary  rules,  federal  law  or
    12  regulation,  the reporting individual shall disclose such information in
    13  an amended disclosure statement in response to the  disclosure  require-
    14  ments  in  questions (b-1) and (b-2). The office of court administration
    15  shall develop and maintain a secure  portal  through  which  information
    16  submitted  to  it pursuant to this paragraph can be safely and confiden-
    17  tially stored. With respect to clients represented in other matters  not
    18  otherwise  exempt,  the reporting individual may request an exemption to
    19  publicly disclosing the name of  that  client  from  the  commission  on
    20  ethics and lobbying in government pursuant to section ninety-four of the
    21  executive  law,  or  from  the  office  of court administration. In such
    22  application, the reporting individual shall  state  the  following:  "My
    23  client  is not currently receiving my services or seeking my services in
    24  connection with:
    25    (i) A proposed bill or resolution in the senate or assembly during the
    26  reporting period;
    27    (ii) A contract in an amount totaling $10,000 or more from  the  state
    28  or any state agency for services, materials, or property;
    29    (iii)  A  grant  of $10,000 or more from the state or any state agency
    30  during the reporting period;
    31    (iv) A grant obtained through  a  legislative  initiative  during  the
    32  reporting period; or
    33    (v)  A  case,  proceeding,  application  or other matter that is not a
    34  ministerial matter before a state agency during the reporting period."
    35    In reviewing the request for an exemption, the  commission  on  ethics
    36  and  lobbying  in  government  or the office of court administration may
    37  consult with bar or other professional associations and the  legislative
    38  ethics  commission  for  individuals subject to its jurisdiction and may
    39  consider the rules of professional conduct. In making its determination,
    40  the commission on ethics and lobbying in government  or  the  office  of
    41  court  administration  shall  conduct its own inquiry and shall consider
    42  factors including, but not limited to: (i) the nature and  the  size  of
    43  the  client;  (ii) whether the client has any business before the state;
    44  and if so, how significant the business is; and whether the  client  has
    45  any particularized interest in pending legislation and if so how signif-
    46  icant  the  interest  is;  (iii)  whether  disclosure  may  reveal trade
    47  secrets; (iv) whether disclosure could reasonably result in  retaliation
    48  against  the  client; (v) whether disclosure may cause undue harm to the
    49  client; (vi) whether disclosure may result in undue harm to  the  attor-
    50  ney-client  relationship;  and (vii) whether disclosure may result in an
    51  unnecessary invasion of privacy to the client.
    52    The commission on ethics and lobbying in government or,  as  the  case
    53  may  be,  the office of court administration shall promptly make a final
    54  determination in response to such request, which shall include an expla-
    55  nation for its determination.  The office of court administration  shall
    56  issue  its  final  determination  within  three  days  of  receiving the

        A. 1609                            10
 
     1  request. Notwithstanding any other provision of law or any  professional
     2  disciplinary rule to the contrary, the disclosure of the identity of any
     3  client  or  customer  in  response to this question shall not constitute
     4  professional misconduct or a ground for disciplinary action of any kind,
     5  or  form the basis for any civil or criminal cause of action or proceed-
     6  ing. A reporting individual who first enters public office after January
     7  first, two thousand sixteen, need not report clients or  customers  with
     8  respect to matters for which the reporting individual or his or her firm
     9  was retained prior to entering public office.

    15    If the reporting individual receives income of ten thousand dollars or
    16  greater from any employment or activity reportable under question  8(a),
    17  identify  each  registered  lobbyist  who  has directly referred to such
    18  individual a client who was successfully referred to the reporting indi-
    19  vidual's business  and  from  whom  the  reporting  individual  or  firm
    20  received  a  fee for services in excess of five thousand dollars. Report
    21  only those referrals that were made to a reporting individual by  direct
    22  communication  from  a person known to such reporting individual to be a
    23  registered lobbyist at the time the referral is made.  With  respect  to
    24  each  such referral, the reporting individual shall identify the client,
    25  the registered lobbyist who has made the referral, the category of value
    26  of the compensation received and a general description of  the  type  of
    27  matter  so referred. A reporting individual need not disclose activities
    28  performed while lawfully acting pursuant to paragraphs (c), (d), (e) and
    29  (f) of subdivision seven of section seventy-three of this  article.  The
    30  disclosure  requirements  in  this question shall not require disclosing
    31  clients  or  customers  receiving  medical,  pharmaceutical  or   dental
    32  services,  mental  health services, or residential real estate brokering
    33  services from the reporting individual or his or her firm or if  federal
    34  law  prohibits  or  limits disclosure. The reporting individual need not
    35  identify any client to whom he or she or his or her firm provided  legal
    36  representation  with  respect  to  investigation  or  prosecution by law
    37  enforcement authorities, bankruptcy, family court, estate  planning,  or
    38  domestic  relations matters, nor shall the reporting individual identify
    39  individuals represented pursuant to an insurance policy but the  report-
    40  ing  individual  shall in such circumstances only report the entity that
    41  provides compensation to  the  reporting  individual;  with  respect  to
    42  matters  in which the client's name is required by law to be kept confi-
    43  dential (such as matters governed by the family court act) or in matters
    44  in which the reporting individual represents  or  provides  services  to
    45  minors,  the  client's name may be replaced with initials. To the extent
    46  that the reporting individual, or his or her firm, provided legal repre-
    47  sentation with respect to an initial public offering, and federal law or
    48  regulations restricts the disclosure of  information  relating  to  such
    49  work,  the  reporting  individual shall (i) disclose the identity of the
    50  client and the services provided relating to the initial public offering
    51  to the office of court administration, who will maintain  such  informa-
    52  tion  confidentially  in  a  locked  box; and (ii) include in his or her
    53  response a statement that pursuant to this paragraph,  a  disclosure  to
    54  the  office  of  court administration has been made. Upon such time that
    55  the disclosure of information maintained in the locked box is no  longer
    56  restricted  by federal law or regulation, the reporting individual shall

        A. 1609                            11
 
     1  disclose such information in an amended disclosure statement in response
     2  to the disclosure requirements of this paragraph.  The office  of  court
     3  administration  shall develop and maintain a secure portal through which
     4  information submitted to it pursuant to this paragraph can be safely and
     5  confidentially  stored.  With  respect  to  clients represented in other
     6  matters not otherwise exempt, the reporting individual  may  request  an
     7  exemption  to  publicly  disclosing  the  name  of  that client from the
     8  commission on ethics and lobbying  in  government  pursuant  to  section
     9  ninety-four  of  the executive law, or from the office of court adminis-
    10  tration. In such application, the reporting individual shall  state  the
    11  following:  "My client is not currently receiving my services or seeking
    12  my services in connection with:
    13    (i) A proposed bill or resolution in the senate or assembly during the
    14  reporting period;
    15    (ii) A contract in an amount totaling $10,000 or more from  the  state
    16  or any state agency for services, materials, or property;
    17    (iii)  A  grant  of $10,000 or more from the state or any state agency
    18  during the reporting period;
    19    (iv) A grant obtained through  a  legislative  initiative  during  the
    20  reporting period; or
    21    (v)  A  case,  proceeding,  application  or other matter that is not a
    22  ministerial matter before a state agency during the reporting period."
    23    In reviewing the request for an exemption, the  commission  on  ethics
    24  and  lobbying  in  government  or the office of court administration may
    25  consult with bar or other professional associations and the  legislative
    26  ethics  commission  for  individuals subject to its jurisdiction and may
    27  consider the rules of professional conduct. In making its determination,
    28  the commission on ethics and lobbying in government  or  the  office  of
    29  court  administration  shall  conduct its own inquiry and shall consider
    30  factors including, but not limited to: (i) the nature and  the  size  of
    31  the  client;  (ii) whether the client has any business before the state;
    32  and if so, how significant the business is; and whether the  client  has
    33  any particularized interest in pending legislation and if so how signif-
    34  icant  the  interest  is;  (iii)  whether  disclosure  may  reveal trade
    35  secrets; (iv) whether disclosure could reasonably result in  retaliation
    36  against  the  client; (v) whether disclosure may cause undue harm to the
    37  client; (vi) whether disclosure may result in undue harm to  the  attor-
    38  ney-client  relationship;  and (vii) whether disclosure may result in an
    39  unnecessary invasion of privacy to the client.
    40    The commission on ethics and lobbying in government or,  as  the  case
    41  may  be,  the office of court administration shall promptly make a final
    42  determination in response to such request, which shall include an expla-
    43  nation for its determination.  The office of court administration  shall
    44  issue  its  final  determination  within  three  days  of  receiving the
    45  request. Notwithstanding any other provision of law or any  professional
    46  disciplinary rule to the contrary, the disclosure of the identity of any
    47  client  or  customer  in  response to this question shall not constitute
    48  professional misconduct or a ground for disciplinary action of any kind,
    49  or form the basis for any civil or criminal cause of action or  proceed-
    50  ing.  A reporting individual who first enters public office after Decem-
