 and the services provided relating to the initial public offering to the
 office  of  court  administration,  who  will  maintain such information
 confidentially in a locked box; and (ii) include in his or her  response
 to  questions (b-1) and (b-2) that pursuant to this paragraph, a disclo-

 longer  restricted  by  professional  disciplinary rules, federal law or
 regulation, the reporting individual shall disclose such information  in
 an  amended  disclosure statement in response to the disclosure require-

 shall  develop  and  maintain  a secure portal through which information

 otherwise exempt, the reporting individual may request an  exemption  to

 application,  the  reporting  individual  shall state the following: "My
 client is not currently receiving my services or seeking my services  in
 connection with:
   (i) A proposed bill or resolution in the senate or assembly during the
 reporting period;
   (ii)  A  contract in an amount totaling $10,000 or more from the state
 or any state agency for services, materials, or property;
   (iii) A grant of $10,000 or more from the state or  any  state  agency
 during the reporting period;
   (iv)  A  grant  obtained  through  a legislative initiative during the
 reporting period; or
   (v) A case, proceeding, application or other  matter  that  is  not  a
 ministerial matter before a state agency during the reporting period."
   In  reviewing  the  request for an exemption, the commission on ethics
 and lobbying in government or the office  of  court  administration  may
 consult  with bar or other professional associations and the legislative
 ethics commission for individuals subject to its  jurisdiction  and  may
 consider the rules of professional conduct. In making its determination,
 the  commission  on  ethics  and lobbying in government or the office of
 court administration shall conduct its own inquiry  and  shall  consider
 factors  including,  but  not limited to: (i) the nature and the size of
 the client; (ii) whether the client has any business before  the  state;
 and  if  so, how significant the business is; and whether the client has
 any particularized interest in pending legislation and if so how signif-
 icant the  interest  is;  (iii)  whether  disclosure  may  reveal  trade
 secrets;  (iv) whether disclosure could reasonably result in retaliation
 against the client; (v) whether disclosure may cause undue harm  to  the
 client;  (vi)  whether disclosure may result in undue harm to the attor-
 ney-client relationship; and (vii) whether disclosure may result  in  an
 unnecessary invasion of privacy to the client.

   The  commission  on  ethics and lobbying in government or, as the case
 may be, the office of court administration shall promptly make  a  final
 determination in response to such request, which shall include an expla-
 nation  for its determination.  The office of court administration shall
 issue  its  final  determination  within  three  days  of  receiving the
 request. Notwithstanding any other provision of law or any  professional
 disciplinary rule to the contrary, the disclosure of the identity of any
 client  or  customer  in  response to this question shall not constitute
 professional misconduct or a ground for disciplinary action of any kind,
 or form the basis for any civil or criminal cause of action or  proceed-
 ing. A reporting individual who first enters public office after January
 first,  two  thousand sixteen, need not report clients or customers with
 respect to matters for which the reporting individual or his or her firm
 was retained prior to entering public office.

   If the reporting individual receives income of ten thousand dollars or
 greater  from any employment or activity reportable under question 8(a),
 identify each registered lobbyist who  has  directly  referred  to  such
 individual a client who was successfully referred to the reporting indi-
 vidual's  business  and  from  whom  the  reporting  individual  or firm
 received a fee for services in excess of five thousand  dollars.  Report
 only  those referrals that were made to a reporting individual by direct
 communication from a person known to such reporting individual to  be  a
 registered  lobbyist  at  the time the referral is made. With respect to
 each such referral, the reporting individual shall identify the  client,
 the registered lobbyist who has made the referral, the category of value
 of  the  compensation  received and a general description of the type of
 matter so referred. A reporting individual need not disclose  activities
 performed while lawfully acting pursuant to paragraphs (c), (d), (e) and
 (f)  of  subdivision seven of section seventy-three of this article. The
 disclosure requirements in this question shall  not  require  disclosing
 clients   or  customers  receiving  medical,  pharmaceutical  or  dental
 services, mental health services, or residential real  estate  brokering
 services  from the reporting individual or his or her firm or if federal
 law prohibits or limits disclosure. The reporting  individual  need  not
 identify  any client to whom he or she or his or her firm provided legal
 representation with respect  to  investigation  or  prosecution  by  law
 enforcement  authorities,  bankruptcy, family court, estate planning, or
 domestic relations matters, nor shall the reporting individual  identify
 individuals  represented pursuant to an insurance policy but the report-
 ing individual shall in such circumstances only report the  entity  that
 provides  compensation  to  the  reporting  individual;  with respect to
 matters in which the client's name is required by law to be kept  confi-
 dential (such as matters governed by the family court act) or in matters
 in  which  the  reporting  individual represents or provides services to
 minors, the client's name may be replaced with initials. To  the  extent
 that the reporting individual, or his or her firm, provided legal repre-
 sentation with respect to an initial public offering, and federal law or
 regulations  restricts  the  disclosure  of information relating to such
 work, the reporting individual shall (i) disclose the  identity  of  the
 client and the services provided relating to the initial public offering
 to  the  office of court administration, who will maintain such informa-

 tion confidentially in a locked box; and (ii)  include  in  his  or  her
 response  a  statement  that pursuant to this paragraph, a disclosure to
 the office of court administration has been made. Upon  such  time  that
 the  disclosure of information maintained in the locked box is no longer
 restricted by federal law or regulation, the reporting individual  shall
 disclose such information in an amended disclosure statement in response
 to  the  disclosure requirements of this paragraph.  The office of court
 administration shall develop and maintain a secure portal through  which
 information submitted to it pursuant to this paragraph can be safely and
 confidentially  stored.  With  respect  to  clients represented in other
 matters not otherwise exempt, the reporting individual  may  request  an
 exemption  to  publicly  disclosing  the  name  of  that client from the
 commission on ethics and lobbying  in  government  pursuant  to  section
 ninety-four  of  the executive law, or from the office of court adminis-
 tration. In such application, the reporting individual shall  state  the
 following:  "My client is not currently receiving my services or seeking
 my services in connection with:
   (i) A proposed bill or resolution in the senate or assembly during the
 reporting period;
   (ii) A contract in an amount totaling $10,000 or more from  the  state
 or any state agency for services, materials, or property;
   (iii)  A  grant  of $10,000 or more from the state or any state agency
 during the reporting period;
   (iv) A grant obtained through  a  legislative  initiative  during  the
 reporting period; or
   (v)  A  case,  proceeding,  application  or other matter that is not a
 ministerial matter before a state agency during the reporting period."
   In reviewing the request for an exemption, the  commission  on  ethics
 and  lobbying  in  government  or the office of court administration may
 consult with bar or other professional associations and the  legislative
 ethics  commission  for  individuals subject to its jurisdiction and may
 consider the rules of professional conduct. In making its determination,

 court  administration  shall  conduct its own inquiry and shall consider
 factors including, but not limited to: (i) the nature and  the  size  of
 the  client;  (ii) whether the client has any business before the state;
