BOYLAND, FARRELL -- read once and referred to the Committee on Consumer Affairs and Protection AN ACT to establish the New York state automatic identification technol- ogy privacy task force THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative intent. The legislature finds that new technol- ogies can have a profound impact on people and social systems. The use of new technologies can be very beneficial, but care must be taken to ensure that such technologies are used responsibly. Automated systems used to identify, track, record, store and transfer data, commonly referred to as automatic identification technology, are increasingly being used by public and private entities, including retailers, manufac- turers, and hospitals. The legislature recognizes that as the price of automatic identification technology decreases, the employment of this technology is expected to increase rapidly. The legislature further recognizes that automatic identification technologies may have privacy implications affecting consumers and the general public. The legislature further recognizes that such technology has numerous applications bene- ficial to public and private entities and affecting both consumers and the general public. The legislature further recognizes that understand- ing various applications and potential privacy concerns regarding auto- matic identification technology is an area that needs study and review in order to determine what protections, if any, are needed to protect personal privacy. S 2. The New York state automatic identification technology privacy task force is hereby established. The role of the task force includes, but is not limited to: (a) assessing the privacy issues associated with the application of automatic identification technologies, including but not limited to EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
