Requires each agency to conduct exit surveys for employees resigning from state civil service; directs the state civil service commission to create an annual report on such surveys; exempts individual responses to exit surveys from the freedom of information law.

The bill requires state agencies in New York to conduct exit surveys for employees who resign from their civil service positions. It also mandates the state civil service commission to compile an annual report based on the survey results. Additionally, individual responses to these exit surveys will not be disclosed under the freedom of information law, ensuring privacy for employees.

Supporters of the bill argue that it will provide valuable insights into employee turnover within state agencies, helping to improve workplace conditions and retain talent. By protecting individual responses, the bill encourages honest feedback from employees, which can lead to meaningful changes in state civil service practices.

Critics of the bill may contend that exempting exit survey responses from public disclosure undermines transparency and accountability in state agencies. They could argue that without oversight, agencies might not take the feedback seriously, potentially allowing ongoing issues to persist without resolution.
