The New York Redaction Cover Page is a document that is used in New York State to protect confidential information from being released to the public. It is used in cases where documents or records contain sensitive or confidential information that needs to be redacted, or blacked out, so that it doesn't get into the wrong hands. There are two types of New York Redaction Cover Pages: the Standard Redaction Cover Page and the Alternative Redaction Cover Page. The Standard Redaction Cover Page is used to redact text, and it is typically used in criminal cases. It is also used when the text to be redacted contains the names of minors, victims of a crime, or confidential information. The Alternative Redaction Cover Page is used to redact images and other material that cannot be redacted with the Standard Redaction Cover Page. This type of page is often used in civil cases or cases involving Freedom of Information Law requests. Both types of cover pages have standard information that must be included, such as the case name, the court, the index number, and the redaction date.
