AN ACT to amend the executive law, in relation to  the  distribution  of
  annual reports

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Section 164 of the executive law, as amended by chapter 833
of the laws of 1965, is amended to read as follows:
  S 164. Reports by and to the department.  Each department, other  than
the  executive  department,  shall make an annual report to the governor
and legislature on or before the fifteenth day of May, for the preceding
calendar year. It shall contain such information concerning the  depart-
ment  and  its  several divisions, bureaus, offices, agencies and insti-
tutions, and their activities and affairs, and such recommendations,  as
the  head  of  the  department  shall  deem necessary or proper, and any
matters required by express provision of law  to  be  included  in  such
report.  A  department also shall make such other and special reports as
the governor or either house of the legislature may require.  From  time
to time, the head of a department may require from any board, commission
or  other  body  in  the  department  or from any subordinate officer or
employee, division or bureau of the department, or from any  institution
subject  to the supervision of the department, or from any agency of the
department, such reports or information as such head may deem necessary.
Unless expressly authorized by the head of the department,  there  shall
be  hereafter  no  separate report, annual or otherwise, directly to the
legislature or governor by any such board,  commission,  body,  officer,
division,  bureau,  institution  or  agency notwithstanding any existing
provision of law authorizing or requiring such report.  EACH DEPARTMENT,
TO THE EXTENT PRACTICABLE, SHALL MAKE SUCH ANNUAL  REPORT  AVAILABLE  TO
MEMBERS  OF  THE LEGISLATURE IN ELECTRONIC FORMAT. SUCH REPORTS SHALL BE
FORWARDED TO MEMBERS OF  THE  LEGISLATURE  IN  PRINTED  FORM  ONLY  UPON
SPECIFIC REQUEST OF A MEMBER OF THE LEGISLATURE FOR SUCH PRINTED REPORT.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
