JCOPE Posts 2020 Financial Disclosure Statements for Members of the Legislature

Filings of Assembly Members and Senators Can Be Viewed Online

(ALBANY, NY) July 2, 2021 – The New York State Joint Commission on Public Ethics (“Commission”) today announced that it has posted the 2020 Annual Statements of Financial Disclosure (“FDS”) of the members of the state Legislature who were in office as of the statutory May 15 filing deadline.

By law, those disclosures are required to be posted to the Commission’s website at https://jcope.ny.gov/financial-disclosure-statements-elected-officials. Most disclosures are due to the Commission by May 15 each year, or the next business day if that is on a weekend. Disclosures for members of the Legislature and legislative staff are due at the same time, but are first submitted to the Legislative Ethics Commission (“LEC”) and then turned over to the Commission in late June for posting to the Commission’s website. The filings of the statewide elected officials (governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, and comptroller) were previously posted and can also be found at the link above.

In addition, the financial disclosure statements of the following are available upon request:

State officials and employees who are required to file because they have been determined by their agency to be a policymaker or because they earn an annual salary that is equivalent to a CSEA SG-24 job rate (currently ($101,379);
Legislative employees who have been determined to be policymakers or who earn above the CSEA SG-24 job rate;
Candidates for the four Statewide elected offices; and,
Candidates for the Legislature
Those requests can be made by going to https://jcope.ny.gov/records_request and submitting the fillable form.
