A07885 Memo:

NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
 
BILL NUMBER: A7885A
 
SPONSOR: Lancman
  TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the executive law, in relation to the posting of the New York code, rules and regulations on the internet   PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF THE BILL: This bill would give citizens and businesses ready internet access to the New York Code, Rules and Regu- lations ("NYCRR"). While New York's statutes and constitution are easily accessible on the internet, the NYCRR is not. Some state agency websites maintain links to relevant portions of the NYCRR, but others do not; none give access to the entire NYCRR. The NYCRR contains the rules and regulations which state agencies follow in executing their respec- tive responsibilities, and in many cases are more essential to the oper- ation of government than the statutes which the NYCRR executes. Citizens and businesses should have ready internet access to the laws which govern them.   SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: The bill amends the Executive Law by adding a new section 106-a, which would require the Department of State to post or maintain a link on its website to an unofficial version of the New York Codes, Rules and Regulations, at no cost to the public, and to further require agency websites to maintain a link to the Department of State website which contains the link to the unofficial version of the New York Codes, Rules and Regulations.   LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: New Bill.   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None.   EFFECTIVE DATE: January 1, 2008.
