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.

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

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-
51 ber thirty-first, two thousand fifteen, need not report clients or
52 customers with respect to matters for which the reporting individual or
53 his or her firm was retained prior to entering public office.
