Bill Summary
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 searchable 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
AI Summary
This bill clarifies the New York Department of Corrections' responsibilities regarding the collection and input of individual names on their electronic record-keeping systems and websites. Specifically, the bill ensures that while the department must make websites searchable by an individual's current name, former legal name, or known alias (if such information is already available in government records), they are not required to actively seek out or input previously uncollected former legal names or aliases into their systems. The bill modifies the effective date of these provisions, changing the implementation timeline from the original ninety-day period to one full year after the law is enacted. This legislation appears designed to provide flexibility for the Department of Corrections in managing online information about incarcerated individuals, balancing transparency with practical limitations on record collection and maintenance.
