S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 9768 I N A S S E M B L Y February 6, 2018 ___________ Introduced by M. of A. TITONE -- read once and referred to the Committee on Consumer Affairs and Protection AN ACT in relation to creating a temporary state commission on personal privacy to examine and assess the privacy of individuals in the state of New York and to make recommendations relative to the protection thereof; and providing for the repeal of such provisions upon the expiration thereof THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. New York state historically has been a leader in protecting the personal privacy of its citizens. Today governmental agencies and commercial firms are constantly gathering and distributing more and more detailed information on the personal lives of the citizens of New York. The rapid advancement in technology in recent years has created new potential threats to the privacy of individuals. The ability to collect, collate, and transmit personal data using information technology now allows isolated pieces of information on an individual to be compiled into profiles of the individual. No comprehensive federal or state law governs personal privacy, nor is any federal or state agency charged with the sole responsibility of identifying personal privacy problems that need to be addressed and encouraging the development and enactment of policies aimed at protecting individuals' privacy. A thorough under- standing of the potential dangers to personal privacy is necessary in order that the legislature may take the appropriate steps to protect the privacy of the state's citizens at this pivotal point in time. § 2. A temporary state commission is hereby established to be known as the "commission on personal privacy". The role of the commission includes, but is not limited to: (a) assessing the level of citizen concern about personal privacy and, to the extent possible, the incidence of privacy intrusions suffered by New York citizens; (b) examining the practices of state and local governmental agencies and businesses related to the collection, storage, and distribution of EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
