Law New
The City’s laws include the Charter, laws passed by the legislature and periodically codified in the Consolidated Laws, and rules made by City agencies. DCWP posts new laws and rules on its website as they become effective, including the Laws of the City of New York (Public Access Portal), New York City Council Legislation website, and NYC Rules.
This bill would require City agencies that suffer a data breach involving personal information to disclose the breach to affected persons and to the Chief Privacy Officer. It would also make the City’s data breach notification law more consistent with State law and requirements, such as those in New York’s SHIELD Act.
This bill would amend the definition of “public body” under the Open Meetings Law to add members of municipal corporations, such as cities, counties, towns, villages and school districts, as well as their committees and subcommittees. This amendment would clarify that the Law applies to public bodies that conduct business and perform a governmental function on behalf of New York State, or an agency of the State.
