Bill > S03889

This bill requires the New York Office of Information Technology Services to develop a mobile application and website that will comprehensively publish information about public meetings held by state and local government bodies. The app and website must include specific details for each public meeting, such as the date, time, location (including videoconferencing links), and summaries of the meeting's purpose. Public bodies will be mandated to electronically transmit meeting notices to the Office of Information Technology Services within existing public notice timeframes, ensuring that these details are published on the new mobile application and website. The goal of this legislation is to increase transparency and improve public access to information about government meetings by creating a centralized, user-friendly platform for tracking and viewing public meeting details. The bill will go into effect 180 days after becoming law, allowing time for the technological infrastructure to be developed and implemented.
