S 3353 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Requires municipalities to maintain municipal websites

This bill requires all municipalities to create and maintain an official website using a .gov domain that is regularly updated and accessible to the public. The law mandates that these sites include basic information such as operating hours, elected officials, and services, along with a clear privacy policy explaining how personal data is collected and used. Additionally, the websites must provide specific documents like meeting agendas and minutes, local laws, and financial reports including budgets and audit results. Municipalities must also ensure that financial documents are available on their sites unless those records are already required to be posted elsewhere by existing public officers laws.
