S 334 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to publishing records of public interest by agencies and the legislature

This bill requires state agencies and the legislature to proactively publish certain public records online when they are available under existing law and deemed "of substantial interest to the public." It mandates that agencies post these records on their websites (if technologically feasible) and allows removal when records are no longer relevant or reach their legal retention period, while exempting privacy-sensitive materials. The law aims to increase government transparency by making key documents more accessible without creating new obligations beyond current disclosure requirements.
