Provides for the disposal of certain information or data maintained by agencies of government including electronic records
This bill allows New York state government agencies to sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of public data maintained in electronic databases to the public. It establishes rules for charging fees for electronic records (capping costs at photocopy rates plus storage device fees) and requires agencies to deposit any revenue from data sales into their general funds. The bill defines key terms like "electronic record" and "data base" to clarify which government data is covered under these provisions. It does not change data retention requirements but creates a new process for agencies to monetize publicly available datasets.
