(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

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
significant 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
attorney-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
explanation 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
proceeding. 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.

(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

THOUSAND FIFTEEN:

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
individual'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
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 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 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 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 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
significant 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
attorney-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
explanation 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
proceeding. A reporting individual who first enters public office after
December thirty-first, two thousand fifteen, need not report clients or
customers with respect to matters for which the reporting individual or

4. A reporting individual who knowingly and wilfully fails to file

an annual statement of financial disclosure or who knowingly and

wilfully with intent to deceive makes a false statement or gives

information which such individual knows to be false on such

statement of financial disclosure filed pursuant to this section

shall be subject to a civil penalty in an amount not to exceed forty

thousand dollars. Assessment of a civil penalty hereunder shall be

made by the commission on ethics and lobbying in government or by

the legislative ethics commission, as the case may be, with respect

to persons subject to their respective jurisdictions. The commission

on ethics and lobbying in government acting pursuant to subdivision

fourteen of section ninety-four of the executive law or the

legislative ethics commission acting pursuant to subdivision eleven

of section eighty of the legislative law, as the case may be, may,

in lieu of or in addition to a civil penalty, refer a violation to

the appropriate prosecutor and upon such conviction, but only after

such referral, such violation shall be punishable as a class A

misdemeanor. A civil penalty for false filing may not be imposed

hereunder in the event a category of "value" or "amount" reported

hereunder is incorrect unless such reported information is falsely

understated. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the

contrary, no other penalty, civil or criminal may be imposed for a

failure to file, or for a false filing, of such statement, except

that the appointing authority may impose disciplinary action as

otherwise provided by law. The commission on ethics and lobbying in

government and the legislative ethics commission shall each be

deemed to be an agency within the meaning of article three of the

state administrative procedure act and shall adopt rules governing

the conduct of adjudicatory proceedings and appeals relating to the

assessment of the civil penalties herein authorized. Such rules,

which shall not be subject to the approval requirements of the state

administrative procedure act, shall provide for due process

procedural mechanisms substantially similar to those set forth in

such article three but such mechanisms need not be identical in

terms or scope. Assessment of a civil penalty shall be final unless

modified, suspended or vacated within thirty days of imposition and

upon becoming final shall be subject to review at the instance of

the affected reporting individual in a proceeding commenced against

the commission on ethics and lobbying in government or the

legislative ethics commission, pursuant to article seventy-eight of

the civil practice law and rules.

5. Nothing contained in this section shall be construed as

precluding any public authority or public benefit corporation from

exercising any authority or power now or hereafter existing to

require any of its members, directors, officers or employees to file

financial disclosure statements with such public authority or public

benefit corporation that are the same as, different from or

supplemental to any of the requirements contained herein and to

provide only for internal employment discipline for any violation

arising out of such internal filing.

6. Notwithstanding any other provision of law or any professional

disciplinary rule to the contrary, the disclosure of the identity of

any client or customer on a reporting individual's annual statement

of financial disclosure 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 proceeding.

7. With respect to an application to either the commission on

ethics and lobbying in government or the office of court

administration for an exemption to disclosing the name of a client

or customer in response to questions 8 (b-1), 8 (b-2) and 8 (c), all

information which is the subject of or a part of such application

shall remain confidential. The name of the client need not be

disclosed by the reporting individual unless and until the

commission on ethics and lobbying in government or the office of

court administration formally advises the reporting individual that

he or she must disclose such names and the reporting individual

agrees to represent the client. Any commissioner or person employed

by the commission on ethics and lobbying in government or any person

employed by the office of court administration who, intentionally

and without authorization from a court of competent jurisdiction

releases confidential information related to a request for an

exemption received by the commission or the office of court

administration shall be guilty of a class A misdemeanor.
