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

 AN ACT to amend the correction law, in relation to clarifying that the
 department of corrections is not required to obtain and input into its
 electronic record-keeping applications any individual's otherwise
 uncollected former legal name or any alias; and to amend a chapter of
 the laws of 2024 amending the correction law relating to requiring
 that websites providing incarcerated individual information be search-
 able by the incarcerated individual's name, former name or alias, as
 proposed in legislative bills numbers S. 4061-A and A. 4763-A, in
 relation to the effectiveness thereof

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

 1 Section 1. Section 9 of the correction law, as amended by a chapter of
 2 the laws of 2024 amending the correction law relating to requiring that
 3 websites providing incarcerated individual information be searchable by
 4 the incarcerated individual's name, former name or alias, as proposed in
 5 section 2 of legislative bills numbers S. 4061-A and A. 4763-A, is
 6 amended to read as follows:
 7 § 9. Access to information of incarcerated individuals via the inter-
 8 net. Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, any informa-
 9 tion relating to the conviction of a person that is posted on a website
 10 maintained by or for the department, under article six of the public
 11 officers law, may be posted on such website for a period not to exceed
 12 three years after the expiration of such person's sentence of imprison-
 13 ment and at the conclusion of any period of parole or post-release
 14 supervision; provided further, however, that any such website that
 15 allows the public to search for incarcerated individual information
 16 shall be programmed in such a manner that the search may be successful
 17 by input of the incarcerated individual's current name, any former legal
 18 name or any other known alias of the incarcerated individual. To the

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

 1 extent the department collects an individual's current name, former
 2 legal name, or any known alias from government records utilized by the
 3 department, the department shall ensure that such information is input
 4 into any website created pursuant to this section, provided, however,
 5 that nothing in this section shall be construed to require the depart-
 6 ment to obtain and input into the department's electronic record-keeping
 7 applications any individual's otherwise uncollected former legal name or
 8 any alias.
