2011-S4818 - Sponsor Memo

                                BILL NUMBER:S4818

TITLE OF BILL:

An act
to amend the executive law, in relation to distribution of the state
register; and to repeal certain provisions of the executive law relating
thereto

PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

This bill would reduce state expenditures by eliminating requirements
to provide free hard copies of the State Register to entities that
prefer to access the free online version.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Bill §1 repeals paragraph (c) of subdivision 1 of §148 of the Executive
Law, requiring the Department of State to write annually to city,
town and village clerks to advise them that they may receive a copy
of the weekly State Register upon written request of the governing
body.

Bill §2 amends subdivisions 2 and 3 of §148 and adds a new subdivision
4, providing that (a) the requirement to provide a free copy of the
weekly Register to each state agency and legislator may be dispensed

with upon request of the recipient, and (b) the authorization to
charge a fee for the Register applies only to the paper version - the
statute is amended to explicitly recognize the availability at no
cost of an online version of the publication.

EFFECTS OF PRESENT LAW WHICH THIS BILL WOULD ALTER:

Currently, the Department of State is required to provide written
notice to city, village and town clerks advising them that they
receive the weekly hard-copy Register upon written request of the
governing body, and is required to provide such copies to agencies
and legislators. Although there is no statutory provision requiring
it, the online version of the Register has been available without
charge since 2003.

JUSTIFICATION:

The Executive Law §102 contains requirements for free distribution of
the paper version of the weekly State Register (listing rulemaking
actions and other public notices) that predate the creation of a free
online version of the publication. Currently, anyone can view the
State Register without charge at
http://www.dos.state.ny.us/info/register.htm.

This bill will enable the Department to conserve state resources and
reduce paper waste by eliminating an annual mailing to city, town and
village clerks to advise them of how to request paper copies of the
publication. Executive Law §148(1)(a) will continue to allow them to
receive these copies upon written request, but they can be informed
of this in less costly ways. The bill will also save money and paper


by allowing discontinuance of print subscriptions at the request of
agencies or individual legislators.

PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

New bill.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS:

Savings to the Department of State from reduced clerical and mailing
costs.

EFFECTIVE DATE:

Immediately.

  2.  The  department of state shall mail or otherwise deliver a copy of

  4-A.    IN  ADDITION  TO  THE PRINT VERSION OF THE STATE REGISTER, THE
DEPARTMENT OF STATE SHALL MAKE AVAILABLE AT NO COST AN ONLINE VERSION OF
THE WEEKLY STATE REGISTER, QUARTERLY INDEX AND  ANY  SPECIAL  ISSUES  AS
DIRECTED BY STATUTE OR DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY THE SECRETARY OF STATE.
