  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Subdivision 2 of section 164-d of  the  executive  law,  as
added by chapter 65 of the laws of 2005, is amended to read as follows:
  2. Nothing in this section shall require that an agency or other state
entity  or instrumentality accept or process application forms submitted
through the internet, or post application forms including  user-specific
data  on the internet.  NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, ANY STATE AGENCY,
DEPARTMENT, BUREAU, BOARD, AUTHORITY, OFFICE, COMMISSION, OR  ANY  OTHER
INSTRUMENTALITY OF THE STATE THAT DOES NOT ACCEPT OR PROCESS APPLICATION
FORMS  SUBMITTED  THROUGH THE INTERNET, SHALL MAKE AVAILABLE THROUGH ITS
INTERNET WEBSITE VERSIONS OF THE VARIOUS APPLICATION FORMS DEVELOPED AND
DISTRIBUTED BY SUCH AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY IN  A  FORM  THAT  MAY  BE
PRINTED  FROM  THE  WEBSITE  AND  USED  FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUBMITTING AN
APPLICATION. DOCUMENTS PRINTED FROM THE WEBSITE SHALL NOT, WHEN PRINTED,
DISPLAY ANY NOTATION OR DEFACING MARK RENDERING  THEM  UNACCEPTABLE  FOR
PURPOSES OF SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION, AND SUCH DOCUMENTS, WHEN PROPERLY
AND COMPLETELY FILLED OUT, SHALL BE ACCEPTED FOR THE PURPOSE OF APPLICA-
TION BY ANY ENTITY ACCEPTING PAPER VERSIONS OF THE DOCUMENTS.
  S  2.    This act shall take effect on the sixtieth day after it shall
have become a law; provided, however  that  effective  immediately,  the
addition,  amendment  and/or  repeal of any rule or regulation necessary
for the implementation of this act on its effective date are  authorized
and directed to be made and completed on or before such effective date.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
