Watchdogs Support Two NYS Transparency Bills

January 26, 2024

As part of their advocacy for open, accountable NY government, watchdogs today reissued memos of support for the following bills:

S3257 (Hoylman-Sigal) – Limits Commercial FOIL exemption. This bill is supported by Reinvent Albany, BetaNYC, Citizens Union, Common Cause NY, the League of Women Voters of NYS, New York News Publishers Association, and NYPIRG.
S2322 (Bailey) / A2442 (Gonzalez-Rojas) – Clarifies Intent of 50-a Repeal. This bill is supported by Reinvent Albany, Citizens Union, Common Cause NY, the League of Women Voters of NYS, and New York News Publishers Association.

We urge the bills to be voted out of committee, and passed by the full Senate and Assembly.
