(a) The people's right to know the process of government decision making and the documents and statistics leading to determinations is basic to our society. Accordingly, the board's policy with respect to requests for its records is that disclosure is the rule and withholding is the exception. All records not exempt from disclosure will be made available.

(b) The board shall furnish to the public the information and records required by the Freedom of Information Law (article 6 of the Public Officers Law), as well as records otherwise available by law.

(c) Any conflicts among laws governing public access to records shall be construed in favor of the widest possible availability of public records.
