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 have records exempt from public disclosure under New York's Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) to renew their exemptions every three years by submitting a written request to the state agency holding the records. Entities must specify which records they seek to keep confidential, provide reasons for the exemption, and apply for renewal at least 60 days before the current exemption expires; failure to renew results in the exemption lapsing. The law establishes procedures for agencies to review renewal requests and for entities to appeal denials, ensuring exemptions remain time-limited and subject to periodic review.
