Requires entities that submit records to state agencies that are excepted from disclosure under FOIL to periodically re-apply for the exception

This bill requires organizations that submit records to state agencies for protection under the Freedom of Information Law to periodically renew their request for that protection. Instead of keeping records exempt from public disclosure indefinitely, entities must apply for an extension every three years, and if they fail to do so, the records become subject to public release. The law also establishes a process where agencies must review these renewal requests and provide written decisions, along with a clear timeline for appealing denials. Ultimately, the measure aims to ensure that sensitive information submitted to the government is regularly re-evaluated to justify continued exemption from public access.
