The Law Revision Commission is a body that has been in existence since 1934 and is the oldest continuously functioning agency in the common-law world devoted to law reform through legislation. The Commission’s purpose is to examine, in a systematic and continuing manner, the statutes and current judicial decisions of this State for the purpose of discovering defects and anachronisms, and to recommend such changes in the law as may be necessary to bring it into harmony with modern conditions. The Commission also studies problems brought to its attention by officers of the Government, public officials, judges, lawyers, and by members of the public.
A citation is an order from a judge or other person requiring someone to appear in court. Usually it is served by an officer of the court, but can be given by another person. Generally, when a citation is not served personally, it is given by mailing it to the person addressed with the summons. An ancillary proceeding is a case that grows out of another case and is filed in order to help in the original case, or to change something about it. For example, a family member might file an ancillary proceeding in Surrogate’s Court to manage the estate of a deceased relative in another State or country.
This bill would require a person to promptly disclose a security breach of private information that involves personal or sensitive data to the City’s Chief Privacy Officer and other designated offices (including the NYPD, if appropriate). The legislation would also align some provisions in the City’s existing law with requirements under New York State’s SHIELD Act.
