NYS Comptroller and ATTNY General Opinions

The NYS Office of the Comptroller publishes legal opinions as well as reports, audits, and guidelines. From the site
"These opinions represent the views of the Office of the State Comptroller at the time they were rendered. The opinions may no longer represent those views if, among other things, there have been subsequent court cases or statutory amendments that bear on the issues discussed in the opinions."

The NYS Attorney General's Office also has opinions and announcements going back more than ten years to the present.

From the site "The Division of Appeals and Opinions operates under the direction of the Solicitor General, who, by statute, is appointed by the Attorney General. The Division is responsible for preparing and arguing civil and criminal appeals in both state and federal courts. The Division determines which cases are to be appealed and determines which legal arguments will be advanced on behalf of the State of New York. The Division also provides advice and counsel to the Attorney General and to Attorneys throughout the Office."
