Creation of a centralized system for processing freedom of information law requests.

Active
Since 2025
New York City Council, Broadway, New York, NY, USA

This bill would require the Commissioner of the Department of Records and Information Services (“DoRIS”) to create and maintain a centralized portal for Freedom of Information Law (“FOIL”) requests within 18 months of the effective date of this bill. The portal would be required to allow the public to submit, track, and receive updates on FOIL requests, and to view agency responses once released. It would also require DoRIS to submit to the Mayor and the Speaker of the Council an implementation plan within 6 months, describing the steps necessary to implement the requirements of the portal.
