A 7719 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Establishes a commission to study cyber security in the state

This bill establishes a 11-member commission within New York's Office of Information Technology Services to study the European Union's GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) and assess the state's current cyber security landscape. The commission will examine critical infrastructure sectors - including financial systems, electrical grids, transportation, and first responder networks - to develop recommendations for protecting online personal information. The group must submit a report to the governor and legislature within one year, evaluating EU models and New York-specific cyber threats like hacking and cybercrime. The commission will not create new laws but will inform future legislation to strengthen the state's cyber security defenses.
