Summary: This bill would require the annual disclosure forms of all filers to be made available for public inspection on the Conflict of Interest Board’s website within 60 days after they are filed. Where a filer submits a request to withhold disclosure of information on privacy grounds, the bill would suspend the online posting requirement while the Board evaluates the request.

By Council Members Borelli, Carr and Restler

 

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to increasing access to annual disclosure forms and repealing paragraph 2 of subdivision e of section 12-110 of such code relating to notification of requests to examine disclosure reports

 

Be it enacted by the Council as follows:

 

Section 1. The opening paragraph of subdivision e of section 12-110 of the administrative code of the city of New York, as amended by local law number 21 for the year 2016, is amended to read as follows:

e. Public inspection of reports and privacy considerations. Information filed in reports required by this section shall be maintained by the conflicts of interest board and shall be made available for public inspection, upon written request on such form as the board shall prescribe[, except that information filed in reports required by this section by each elected officer described in sections four, twenty-four, twenty-five, eighty-one, ninety-one and eleven hundred twenty-five of the New York city charter shall be made available for public inspection] and on the board's website without written request no later than 60 days following the date such reports are filed with the board, except when a request pursuant to subparagraph (a) of paragraph 1 of this subdivision is pending. The availability of forms for public inspection pursuant to this subdivision is subject to the following provisions:

§ 2. Subparagraph (a) of paragraph 1 of subdivision e of section 12-110 of the administrative code of the city of New York, as amended by local law number 21 for the year 2016, is amended to read as follows:

(a) Any person required to file a report pursuant to this section may, at the time the report is filed or at any time thereafter, [except when a request for inspection is pending,] submit a request to the conflicts of interest board, in such form as the board shall require, to withhold any item disclosed therein from public inspection on the ground that the inspection of such item by the public would constitute an unwarranted invasion of his or her privacy or a risk to the safety or security of any person. Such request shall be in writing and shall be in such form as the conflicts of interest board shall prescribe and shall set forth the reason such person believes the item should not be disclosed. During the time for evaluation of such a request, such report shall not be available for public inspection.

§ 3. Paragraph 2 of subdivision e of section 12-110 of the administrative code of the city of New York is REPEALED.

§ 4. This local law takes effect immediately; provided, however, that it shall not apply to reports of annual disclosure filed in the year in which this local law takes effect for the preceding calendar year.
