(b)

The secretary of state shall establish, through regulations, procedures to allow beneficial owners of limited liability companies and foreign limited liability companies who are also reporting companies who cite significant privacy interests to apply for a waiver to withhold the name and/or business address associated of a beneficial owner from the database established in subdivision one of this section where such name and/or business address discloses personal or identifying information of such beneficial owner, no amendment to such information mitigates such disclosure, and such disclosure serves no public interest. Significant privacy interests shall include, but not be limited to, where a beneficial owner is a natural person participating in an address confidentiality program, or is a member of a limited liability company acting as a relator in a qui tam action filed pursuant to State Finance Law § 190 (Civil actions for false claims)section one hundred ninety of the state finance law or 31 U.S.C. section 3729. The secretary of state shall issue a waiver to a beneficial owner upon a demonstration that a significant privacy interest exists and shall provide guidance on its website indicating what documentation is acceptable as proof for issuance of a waiver. If the secretary of state grants a beneficial owner a waiver pursuant to this subdivision, the secretary of state shall disclose the anonymized unique identifying number assigned by the secretary of state to each beneficial owner or owners pursuant to section two hundred fifteen or section eight hundred ten of the limited liability company law, as may be applicable to the database established in subdivision one of this section. The secretary of state shall also provide information on its website regarding compliance with beneficial ownership disclosure requirements and how and where such information may be used and disclosed. * NB Effective and Repealed January 1, 2026
