Makes certain not-for-profit corporations subject to the freedom of information and open meetings laws
This bill requires certain large, government-funded non-profits to follow New York's open records and meeting laws. It applies to nonprofits with 25+ full-time equivalent employees that receive $1 million+ in government funds or get 75%+ of their revenue from the government, and are licensed by state agencies overseeing developmental disabilities, mental health, or health services. These organizations must comply with public officers law provisions for record access and meetings, but exclude patient records protected by HIPAA and documents marked as security-sensitive by the state police. The bill does not change funding or services, only requiring transparency for these specific nonprofits.
