S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 2934 2013-2014 Regular Sessions I N A S S E M B L Y January 22, 2013 ___________ Introduced by M. of A. WRIGHT, GALEF -- Multi-Sponsored by -- M. of A. DINOWITZ -- read once and referred to the Committee on Governmental Operations AN ACT to amend the state administrative procedure act, in relation to the dissemination of rule making information through electronic media THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The legislature finds and declares that the accessibility to the public of information concerning the regulatory activities of state agencies, and the ability of the public to communicate its views to state agencies in order to ensure that such policies are reflective of the people's interests, concerns and knowledge are essential elements of open and democratic government. Technological changes, such as the expansion of on-line services, computer bulletin boards and other aspects of the "information superhighway", offer the state new opportu- nities to provide additional means of ensuring the accessibility and accountability of agencies to the public. Therefore, it is the intent of the legislature that agencies maximize their use of such technologies as appropriate to provide for greater participation in the rule making process. S 2. The opening paragraph of section 201 of the state administrative procedure act is designated subdivision 1 and a new subdivision 2 is added to read as follows: 2. AGENCIES SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THIS CHAPTER SHALL MAXIMIZE THEIR USE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE INTERNET AND OTHER ON-LINE SERVICES, COMPUTER BULLETIN BOARDS, ELECTRON- IC MAIL AND ADVANCED TELECOMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGIES, AS APPROPRIATE, TO PROVIDE FOR GREATER PARTICIPATION IN THE RULE MAKING PROCESS. EACH AGEN- CY SHALL INCLUDE A SUMMARY OF ITS EFFORTS IN THIS REGARD IN ITS ANNUAL REPORT. EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
