Governor Hochul vetoed a bill that would have imposed strict deadlines on New York state agencies to respond to public record requests, citing feasibility and funding concerns.
Governor Kathy Hochul vetoed the FOIL Timing Bill, which would have set strict deadlines for New York state agencies to respond to public record requests, including acknowledgment within five business days and final decisions within 60 days—extendable only with justification.
The bill aimed to combat prolonged delays and improve transparency, but Hochul cited feasibility and funding concerns, calling the timelines arbitrary.
Advocates say the veto blocks the most significant FOIL reform in years, weakening public access to government information and accountability.
