 Introduced by Sen. COMRIE -- read twice and ordered printed, and when

 AN ACT to amend the financial services law, in relation to enacting the
 "department of financial services open data act"

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. This act shall be known and may be cited as the "department
 2 of financial services open data act".
 3 § 2. Legislative findings. The legislature finds that the release of
 4 data, in a format that is easily accessible, understandable and usable
 5 by the public, can increase civic engagement with government. In addi-
 6 tion, in a department providing a public service and operating an enter-
 7 prise as vital as that of the Department of Financial Services, trans-
 8 parency in data is in the public's best interest. It is the intent of
 9 the legislature that the department and its subsidiaries release as much
 10 data as is feasible in open formats, so that the public can access that
 11 data, analyze it, and engage with the department with suggestions and
 12 solutions to improve its operations.
 13 § 3. The financial services law is amended by adding a new section 208
 14 to read as follows:
 15 § 208. Open data reporting. (a) The department shall fully comply with
 16 the provisions of Executive Order 95 of 2013, "Using Technology to
 17 Promote Transparency, Improve Government Performance and Enhance Citizen
 18 Engagement", and shall provide the New York state office of information
 19 technology services and the legislature all data as defined in
 20 subsection (b) of this section.
 21 (b) For the purposes of this section, the following terms shall have
 22 the following meanings:
 23 (1) "open data website" shall mean the website data.ny.gov or such
 24 other successor website maintained by, or on behalf of, the state, as
 25 deemed appropriate by the New York state office of information technolo-

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