50-D - Personnel records of court officers.

 
    §  50-d.  Personnel  records  of  court  officers.  1. As used in this
  section, "personnel records  of  court  officers"  means  all  personnel
  records  of  court  officers  as  defined  in paragraph a of subdivision
  twenty-one of section 2.10  of  the  criminal  procedure  law,  used  to
  evaluate performance toward continued employment or promotion, and under
  the control of the office of court administration.
    2.  Personnel  records of court officers shall be disclosed in a court
  action pursuant to the relevant provisions  of  the  criminal  procedure
  law,  the  civil  practice  law and rules, or any other provision of law
  governing such disclosure only after the court has notified the  subject
  of  such  record that such record may be disclosed in a court action and
  the court has given the subject of such  record  an  opportunity  to  be
  heard  on  the  question  of whether the records sought are relevant and
  material in the action before the court. If,  after  such  hearing,  the
  court  determines  that  only a portion of such records are relevant and
  material in the action before it, it  shall  make  those  parts  of  the
  record  found  to  be  relevant and material available to the persons so
  requesting.
    3. The provisions of this section shall not apply to any grand jury or
  any agency  of  government  which  requires  the  records  described  in
  subdivision  one  of  this  section in the furtherance of their official
  duties.
