 2025-2026 Regular Sessions

 IN ASSEMBLY

 February 12, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by M. of A. K. BROWN -- read once and referred to the Commit-
 tee on Governmental Operations

 AN ACT to amend the executive law, in relation to requiring certain
 entities when relying on statistics in planning, policy enforcement
 and reporting be based on the worst-case scenario

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

 1 Section 1. The executive law is amended by adding a new section 170-i
 2 to read as follows:
 3 § 170-i. Worst-case scenario planning, policy enforcement and report-
 4 ing. Every department, bureau, board, commission, authority, or any
 5 other agency or instrumentality of the state shall, when relying on
 6 statistics in planning, policy enforcement and reporting, base such
 7 planning, policy enforcement and reporting on the worst-case scenario.
 8 For the purpose of this section, the term "base such planning, policy
 9 enforcement and reporting on the worst-case scenario" shall mean:
 10 1. plans are created with the highest degree of safety such that any
 11 plan will remain viable if the worst-case scenario occurs.
 12 2. policies are enforced to reduce the likelihood of a worst-case
 13 scenario while assuming that the worst-case scenario is occurring.
 14 3. reports show the worst-case scenario statistics and findings if the
 15 statistics and findings are not absolute.
 16 § 2. This act shall take effect on the one hundred eightieth day after
 17 it shall have become a law. Effective immediately, the addition, amend-
 18 ment and/or repeal of any rule or regulation necessary for the implemen-
 19 tation of this act on its effective date are authorized to be made and
 20 completed on or before such effective date.

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