NY S03257

Requires entities submitting records to state agencies to request disclosure exceptions in writing, specifically identifying which portions of records should be excepted and stating reasons for the exception.

Limits initial exceptions to a maximum of three years from the agency's receipt of the exception request, with submitters able to propose their own expiration dates.

Requires submitters to apply for a three-year extension at least 60 days before the current exception expires; failure to apply results in the exception automatically expiring.

Requires state agencies to review extension applications and either grant or deny them, with denial decisions subject to appeal by the submitter.

Changes the oversight committee name from "Committee on Public Access to Records" to "Committee on Open Government" in related notification procedures.
