BILL NUMBER:S5797 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the public officers law, in relation to the disclosure of agency records; and to amend the education law, in relation to guidelines for foundations of state operated campuses PURPOSE: Expands the definition of agencies that are required to make documents available to the public under the Freedom of Information Law.
