   Section 1. Short title. This act shall be known and may  be  cited  as
 the "New York is home act".
   §  2. Legislative findings. The legislature hereby finds that New York
 is home to over 19.5 million individuals, including workers,  consumers,
 students,  neighbors and taxpayers. The wellbeing of this state is inex-
 tricably linked to the wellbeing of all these  New  Yorkers.  These  New
 Yorkers  share  a  common destiny and common dreams: a thriving New York
 state replete with healthy families, healthy  communities  and  striving
 businesses.  New  York is home to these individuals, regardless of their
 federal immigration status.

   This act addresses the compelling need to lift up all state residents,
 upon whom this state's society, vibrancy,  health  and  economic  growth
 depend.  Our  state  recognizes the value of those who contribute to and
 make our state home.
   It  also makes economic sense to enable all New Yorkers, who are pres-
 ent in and a part of the fabric of our state, to contribute fully to our
 state revenue, to participate in our state conversations, and to  access
 benefits  that are the foundation of a healthy, thriving New York state.
 Although the futures of many New Yorkers are undeniably circumscribed by
 current federal immigration law, many of those New Yorkers also enjoy an
 inchoate federal permission to be here, and this state enables  them  to
 make our state their home, as well. Many of these New Yorkers pay taxes,
 with approximately $744 million paid in state and local taxes each year.
 However,  current  state  law  prevents them from accessing equal higher
 education opportunities, health  care  benefits,  drivers  licenses  and
 professional  licenses. Denying New Yorkers these benefits means denying
 the state its full potential to succeed.
   The state of New York respects the exclusive province of  the  federal
 government  to  regulate immigration and the flow of immigrants into and
 out of our country. However, this state retains and asserts its historic
 authority to define its citizenry, and to  affirmatively  provide  state
 and  local  public  benefits  to  citizens of the state of New York. The
 state seeks to provide such benefits to all of its  citizens,  irrespec-
 tive  of that individual's eligibility for the same under federal law or
 pursuant to federal funding. There is nothing in this act that should be
 deemed to conflict with federal law.

 gator or watch, guard or patrol agency, or has had an  equivalent  posi-
 tion  and  experience;  qualifying  experience shall have been completed

 ation shall file a duly certified copy of its certificate  of  organiza-
 tion  in  the place of the certified copy of its certificate of incorpo-
 ration herein required.

 following stated on the application in clear and conspicuous type:
   "You must fill out the following section: Would you like to  be  added
 to  the  Donate  Life  Registry? Check box for 'yes' or 'skip this ques-
 tion'."
   The commissioner of health shall not maintain records  of  any  person
 who checks "skip this question". Except where the application is made in
 person  or  electronically,  failure to check a box shall not impair the
 validity of an application, and failure to check "yes" or checking "skip
 this question" shall not be construed to imply a wish not to donate.  In
 the  case  of  an  applicant under eighteen years of age, checking "yes"

 to  make  an  anatomical gift or registered in the donate life registry,
 checking "skip this question" or failing to check a box shall not impair
 that consent or registration]. In addition, an applicant for  a  commer-

 ication" shall mean a form substantially in compliance with the form set
 forth  in Part 391.43(h) of title 49 of the code of federal regulations.
 Upon a determination that the holder of a  commercial  driver's  license
 has  made  any false statement, with respect to the application for such
 license, the commissioner shall revoke such license.
   (b) The commissioner shall promulgate rules and regulations clarifying
 that eligibility for a driver's license shall not require  an  applicant

 sioner shall provide for the acceptance of alternative proofs of identi-
 ty, including New York state identification cards,  foreign  identifica-
 tion cards, foreign birth certificates and foreign passports.
