AN  ACT  to  amend  the  executive  law,  in  relation  to requiring the
  collection of certain demographic information by certain  state  agen-
  cies, boards and commissions

  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 the following:
  (a)  Asian  Americans  as  well  as Native Hawaiians and other Pacific
Islanders are an incredibly diverse group. Due to  this  diversity,  the
United  States  Office  of  Management  and  Budget's Statistical Policy
Directive No. 15, entitled Race and Ethnic Standards for Federal Statis-
tics and Administrative Reporting,  separated  the  "Asian  and  Pacific
Islander" category into two distinct and separate categories, now called
"Asians"  and  "Native Hawaiians and Other Pacific Islanders," and these
two distinct categories were used in the 2000 United States Census.  The
United States Census Bureau currently reports  data  for  more  than  20
different ethnicities within these two categories.
  (b) While Asian Americans as well as Native Hawaiians and other Pacif-
ic  Islanders  are often misrepresented as a homogeneous group, they are
an extremely diverse group, with  ethnicities  from  over  30  different
countries.  Although Asian American as well as Native Hawaiian and other
Pacific Islander  communities  in  this  state  share  geographical  and
cultural  commonalities,  they  also  experience  diverse social, educa-
tional, health, and  economic  differences  that  are  unique  to  their
respective communities.
  (c) Existing state law requires state demographic data to be collected
for  Asian  and some Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander ethnic groups.
However, additional ethnic groups reported by the United  States  Census

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets

                                                           LBD03061-01-3

A. 1186                             2

Bureau  are  not  included that reflect changing demographics and intra-
state migration patterns. Most  state  agencies  are  currently  not  in
compliance  with  existing state law or have not made the collected data
accessible.  Data should be updated on a regular basis and made accessi-
ble to the public so that regional and local governments, elected  offi-
cials,  decision  makers, and other stakeholders can use the information
to strategically target programs for those most in need.
  (d) Given the diversity of languages and cultures, separating data for
additional Asian and additional Native  Hawaiian  and  Pacific  Islander
ethnic  groups  and making the data publicly accessible are critical for
enhancing our state's understanding of  the  needs  and  experiences  of
these different communities.
  S  2.  The  executive  law is amended by adding a new section 170-c to
read as follows:
  S 170-C. COLLECTION OF DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION.  1. EVERY STATE  AGEN-
CY,  BOARD,  OR  COMMISSION  THAT DIRECTLY OR BY CONTRACT COLLECTS DEMO-
GRAPHIC DATA AS TO THE ANCESTRY OR ETHNIC ORIGIN  OF  RESIDENTS  OF  THE
STATE  OF  NEW  YORK  SHALL USE SEPARATE COLLECTION CATEGORIES AND TABU-
LATIONS FOR THE FOLLOWING:
  (A) EACH MAJOR ASIAN GROUP, INCLUDING, BUT NOT  LIMITED  TO,  CHINESE,
JAPANESE,  FILIPINO, KOREAN, VIETNAMESE, ASIAN INDIAN, LAOTIAN, CAMBODI-
AN, BANGLADESHI, HMONG, INDONESIAN, MALAYSIAN,  PAKISTANI,  SRI  LANKAN,
TAIWANESE, AND THAI; AND
  (B)  EACH MAJOR PACIFIC ISLANDER GROUP, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
HAWAIIAN, GUAMANIAN, SAMOAN, FIJIAN AND TONGAN.
  2. THE DATA COLLECTED PURSUANT TO THE DIFFERENT COLLECTION  CATEGORIES
AND  TABULATIONS DESCRIBED IN SUBDIVISION (A) SHALL BE INCLUDED IN EVERY
DEMOGRAPHIC REPORT ON ANCESTRY OR ETHNIC ORIGINS  OF  RESIDENTS  OF  THE
STATE OF NEW YORK BY THE STATE AGENCY, BOARD, OR COMMISSION PUBLISHED OR
RELEASED  ON  OR AFTER JULY FIRST, TWO THOUSAND FOURTEEN. THE DATA SHALL
BE MADE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC IN ACCORDANCE  WITH  STATE  AND  FEDERAL
LAW,  EXCEPT FOR PERSONAL IDENTIFYING INFORMATION, WHICH SHALL BE DEEMED
CONFIDENTIAL, BY POSTING THE DATA ON THE INTERNET WEB SITE OF THE AGENCY
ON OR BEFORE JULY FIRST, TWO THOUSAND FOURTEEN, AND ANNUALLY THEREAFTER.
THIS SUBDIVISION SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED TO PREVENT ANY OTHER STATE AGEN-
CY FROM POSTING DATA COLLECTED PURSUANT TO SUBDIVISION (A) ON THE  AGEN-
CY'S INTERNET WEB SITE, IN THE MANNER PRESCRIBED BY THIS SECTION.
  S 3. This act shall take effect on the one hundred twentieth day after
it shall have become a law.
