§ 168-m. Review. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the

contrary, any state or local correctional facility, hospital or

institution, district attorney, law enforcement agency, probation

department, state board of parole, court or child protective agency

shall forward relevant information pertaining to a sex offender to be

discharged, paroled, released to post-release supervision or released to

the board for review no later than one hundred twenty days prior to the

release or discharge and the board shall make recommendations as

provided in subdivision six of section one hundred sixty-eight-l of this

article within sixty days of receipt of the information. Information may

include, but may not be limited to all or a portion of the arrest file,

prosecutor's file, probation or parole file, child protective file,

court file, commitment file, medical file and treatment file pertaining

to such person. Such person shall be permitted to submit to the board

any information relevant to the review. Upon application of the sex

offender or the district attorney, the court shall seal any portion of

the board's file pertaining to the sex offender that contains material

that is confidential under any state or federal law; provided, however,

that in any subsequent proceedings in which the sex offender who is the

subject of the sealed record is a party and which requires the board to

provide a recommendation to the court pursuant to this article, such

sealed record shall be available to the sex offender, the district

attorney, the court and the attorney general where the attorney general

is a party, or represents a party, in the proceeding.
