  institution,   district  attorney,  law  enforcement  agency,  probation
  department, division 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,

  offender  or  the district attorney, the court shall seal any portion of
  the board's file pertaining to the sex offender which 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.
