Relates to the unauthorized release of sealed records

Bill S 7506 creates a new section in the public officers law concerning the unauthorized release of sealed records. It makes it a Class B misdemeanor for a public officer or employee to intentionally disclose a sealed record or its contents to an unauthorized person, punishable by a fine of up to $1000 without imprisonment. The bill defines "sealed record" by referencing specific sections of the criminal procedure law and family court act. It also outlines several exceptions, such as disclosure by the subject of the record, or when required by law or court order.
