A reporting individual need not disclose activities performed while
lawfully acting in [his or her] THE REPORTING INDIVIDUAL'S capacity as
provided in paragraphs (c), (d), (e) and (f) of subdivision seven of
section seventy-three of this article.
The disclosure requirement in questions (b-1) and (b-2) shall not
require disclosing clients or customers receiving medical, pharmaceu-
tical or dental services, mental health services, or residential real
estate brokering services from the reporting individual or [his or her]
THE REPORTING INDIVIDUAL'S firm or if federal law prohibits or limits
disclosure. The reporting individual need not identify any client to
whom [he or she] THE REPORTING INDIVIDUAL or [his or her] THE REPORTING
INDIVIDUAL'S firm provided legal representation with respect to investi-
gation 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 reporting individual shall in such circum-
stances only report the entity that provides compensation to the report-
ing individual; with respect to matters in which the client's name is
required by law to be kept confidential (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] THE REPORTING INDIVIDUAL'S firm, provided legal represen-
tation with respect to an initial public offering, and professional
disciplinary rules, federal law or regulations restrict 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 information confidentially in a locked box; and
(ii) include in [his or her] THE REPORTING INDIVIDUAL'S response to
questions (b-1) and (b-2) 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 professional disciplinary rules, federal law or regu-
lation, the reporting individual shall disclose such information in an
amended disclosure statement in response to the disclosure requirements
in questions (b-1) and (b-2). The office of court administration shall
A. 2467 9
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 other-
wise 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 administration. 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,
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]
THE REPORTING INDIVIDUAL'S firm was retained prior to entering public
office.
(c) APPLICABLE ONLY TO NEW CLIENTS OR CUSTOMERS FOR WHOM SERVICES ARE
PROVIDED ON OR AFTER DECEMBER THIRTY-FIRST, TWO THOUSAND FIFTEEN, OR FOR
NEW MATTERS FOR EXISTING CLIENTS OR CUSTOMERS WITH RESPECT TO THOSE

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] THE REPORTING
INDIVIDUAL'S firm or if federal law prohibits or limits disclosure. The
reporting individual need not identify any client to whom [he or she]
THE REPORTING INDIVIDUAL or [his or her] THE REPORTING INDIVIDUAL'S firm
provided legal representation with respect to investigation or prose-
cution by law enforcement authorities, bankruptcy, family court, estate
planning, or domestic relations matters, nor shall the reporting indi-
vidual identify individuals represented pursuant to an insurance policy
but the reporting 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 confidential (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] THE REPORTING
INDIVIDUAL'S firm, provided legal representation with respect to an
initial public offering, and federal law or regulations restricts the
disclosure of information relating to such work, the reporting individ-
ual 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 information confidentially in a
locked box; and (ii) include in [his or her] THE REPORTING INDIVIDUAL'S
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
A. 2467 11
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 Decem-
ber thirty-first, two thousand fifteen, need not report clients or
customers with respect to matters for which the reporting individual or
[his or her] THE REPORTING INDIVIDUAL'S firm was retained prior to
entering public office.
