 3392--A

 2025-2026 Regular Sessions

 IN SENATE

 January 27, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by Sens. GOUNARDES, SEPULVEDA, COMRIE, JACKSON -- read twice
 and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee
 on Cities 1 -- recommitted to the Committee on Cities 1 in accordance
 with Senate Rule 6, sec. 8 -- committee discharged, bill amended,
 ordered reprinted as amended and recommitted to said committee

 AN ACT to amend the general municipal law, in relation to interagency
 data sharing by agencies of a city with a population of one million or
 more for providing benefits, services or care coordination

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

 1 Section 1. Short title. This act shall be known and may be cited as
 2 the "one city act".
 3 § 2. The general municipal law is amended by adding a new section
 4 139-f to read as follows:
 5 § 139-f. Data sharing by agencies within a local government for
 6 providing benefits, services or care coordination. 1. Applicability.
 7 This section shall apply to cities having a population of one million or
 8 more.
 9 2. Legislative intent. The legislature hereby finds, determines, and
 10 declares that the effective delivery of benefits, services and care
 11 coordination by a local government to its populace may be improved
 12 through cooperative data-sharing arrangements that enable its agencies
 13 to act, in effect, as a single coordinated entity, "one city", for such
 14 purposes. The delivery of benefits, services and care coordination often
 15 either requires or is buttressed by the sharing of the personal informa-
 16 tion collected from individuals or households by one local government
 17 agency with other local government agencies, particularly where the same
 18 individual or household is known to multiple local government agencies
 19 or faces complex challenges requiring cross-agency coordination to
 20 effectively address a pressing need for government services, such as but
 21 not limited to food, shelter, mental health services, public benefits,

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets

 1 and health care. The legislature recognizes the importance of ensuring
 2 robust protections for safeguarding the privacy of the personal informa-
 3 tion that individuals have entrusted to their local government while
 4 also enabling its agencies to responsibly share such information with
 5 each other in order to effectively deliver benefits, services and care
 6 coordination to its populace. State authority for cooperative data-shar-
 7 ing arrangements that enable agencies of a local government to coordi-
 8 nate their activities is necessary in certain instances where laws of
 9 the state of New York impose restrictions on the disclosure of such
 10 personal information between local government agencies. Such cooperative
 11 data-sharing arrangements can be developed and implemented with appro-
 12 priate safeguards and protocols for protecting personal privacy and
 13 cybersecurity.
