Relates to exempting certain statements relating to sexual abuse or misconduct from disclosure under FOIL

This bill modifies the Public Officers Law to protect the privacy of victims and witnesses by preventing their statements about sexual abuse or misconduct from being released under Freedom of Information Law requests. Under the new rule, government agencies must treat these specific personal accounts as confidential, even if the information is otherwise part of a public record. The change applies to all agencies handling such records and ensures that details shared by individuals regarding sexual abuse or misconduct cannot be disclosed to the public.
