S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 2225 2011-2012 Regular Sessions I N S E N A T E January 18, 2011 ___________ Introduced by Sen. KRUGER -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Energy and Telecommuni- cations AN ACT to amend the state technology law, in relation to the creation of a state 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 hereby finds and declares that personal privacy is an issue of great concern to state policymakers. Over the past decade, public and private entities have increased their use of computers and databases, permitting significant amounts of data about specific individuals to be compiled. During that same period, the internet has grown from a relatively small and little known computer network into a medium of international commerce. While these advances have increased the efficiency and output of the entities utilizing them, they have also resulted in a greater amount of personal information being compiled, retained and disseminated than ever before. The intent of this legislation is to create an entity within the state office for technology that will develop an expertise in issues relating to personal privacy and serve as a resource to state and local policy- makers. The state privacy task force will review and analyze current state and local law and practices with respect to the collection, retention and dissemination of personal information, and provide an annual report to the legislature and the governor that will include its recommendations to protect and enhance the privacy of New Yorkers. S 2. Article 3 and sections 301, 302, 303, 304, 305, 306, 307, 308 and 309 of the state technology law, as renumbered by chapter 437 of the laws of 2004, are renumbered article 5 and sections 501, 502, 503, 504, 505, 506, 507, 508 and 509, respectively, and a new section 510 is added to read as follows: EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
