Requires entities to periodically re-apply for exceptions to disclosure under FOIL.

New York Senate Bill S05000 amends the public officers law to require entities that submit records to state agencies, which are excepted from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Law (FOIL), to periodically re-apply for the exception. The submitter can request a three-year extension of the exception. Agencies must review and either grant or deny the extension request, with the option for the submitter to appeal a denial. If the submitter fails to apply for an extension, the exception expires. The bill also outlines procedures for appeals and determinations regarding exceptions.
