BILL NUMBER:A10954 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the executive law, in relation to requiring all state agencies to provide paper copies of the forms they utilize to individuals and commercial entities required to file such forms PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: Requires all state agencies to provide paper copies of the forms they utilize to individuals and commercial entities required to file such forms. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Section 1. The executive law is amended by adding a new section 170-c. Individuals and commercial entities may file such form or forms by mail or in person and shall not be required to submit any form or forms electronically. JUSTIFICATION: The purpose of this legislation is to simplify the filing of all state government forms for the general public. Currently, many state agencies require forms to be filed over the Internet. While there is no cost for this type of filing, there is an inconvenience to the filer who might not be computer literate, or own a computer and face the hassle of using a computer in an unsecured public location such as a library or shopping mall.
