S 2451 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Makes certain not-for-profit corporations subject to the freedom of information and open meetings laws

This bill requires certain not-for-profit corporations to comply with state laws regarding open meetings and public access to records. Specifically, it targets organizations with 25 or more full-time employees that receive significant government funding and are licensed to provide services for developmental disabilities, mental health, or public health. The law mandates that these entities make their internal documents available for public inspection, while explicitly excluding confidential patient records and security-sensitive documents from this requirement.
