   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. Legislative intent.   Currently, under  the  United  States
 Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. §1101(a)(3), the commonly used
 term  "alien"  refers  to any person who is not a citizen or national of
 the United States. Although hundreds of years of migration has  contrib-
 uted  to  the  social, economic, and political foundations of the United
 States, a divide between "us" and "them" has  remained  crucial  to  the
 restriction  of  people's migration into the United States and immigrant
 inclusion within the United States.  This  divide  is  expressed,  among
 other  ways,  through language. The literal words used by our government
 through laws and regulations influence social discourse and  immigration
 policies.  Scholars  and  politicians alike have criticized the connota-
 tions associated with the term "alien" in federal  and  state  laws  and

 regulations,  as  synonymizing  foreign-born  people  with criminals and
 outsiders. Not only do these connotations dehumanize the immigrants that
 elevate our cultural, civic, and economic life, but they hold  power  in
 the creation of xenophobic laws and rules resulting from legislation and
 judicial  decisions.  New  York  state has long valued the benefits that
 come with a diverse immigrant population and has held out to be  a  land
 of  opportunity  for  all. Currently, 4.4 million immigrants live in New
 York state, with over three million residing in New York city. In  2018,
 immigrant households in New York paid $35.4 billion in federal taxes and
 $21.8 billion in state and local taxes. Immigrants comprise more than 34
 percent  of  all self-employed New Yorkers and generated $7.8 billion in
 income during 2018 alone. Immigrants  throughout  New  York  state  have
 proven  to  strengthen  New  York's  economy  and  diversify  social and
 cultural life.
   To coincide with New York state's inclusive and welcoming platform  on
 immigration  matters,  the  terms  "alien" and "illegal alien" should be
 removed from all state laws. By replacing these terms with  "noncitizen"
 and  "undocumented  noncitizen,"  New  York  state  will  both match the
 language anticipated to be in federal codes and demonstrate respect  and
 humanity to its immigrant population.
   § 2. Section 8 of the executive law is amended to read as follows:
   § 8. Registration  of  [aliens] NONCITIZENS.   Whenever a state of war
 exists between the United States and a foreign country, or, in the judg-
 ment of the governor public safety or necessity  requires  such  action,
 the  governor  may,  by proclamation, direct every subject or citizen of
 such foreign countries as the governor may designate in  such  proclama-
 tion,  who are in this state, or who may from time to time come into the
 state, to appear within twenty-four hours after the  date  specified  in
 such  proclamation or after arrival within the state, before such public
 authorities as the governor may  designate  in  such  proclamation,  and
 personally register his or her name, residence, business, length of stay
 and such other information as the governor shall prescribe. Such procla-
 mation  shall be published in such newspapers as the governor may desig-
 nate. Every person to whom such proclamation is  applicable  shall  also
 comply  with such rules or personal identification as the governor shall
 from time to time prescribe. The occupant of  every  private  residence,
 and  the owner, lessee or proprietor, operating or managing every hotel,
 inn, boarding or rooming house shall, within twenty-four hours after the
 date specified in such proclamation, notify such public  authorities  of
 the presence therein of every subject or citizen of a foreign country to
 whom  such  proclamation  is  applicable,  and shall each day thereafter
 notify such public authorities of the arrival thereat or departure ther-
 efrom of every such subject or citizen. A failure  to  comply  with  any
 such  proclamation  or to perform any act required by this section shall
 be a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of  not  exceeding  one  thousand
 dollars, or imprisonment for one year or both.
