A 2852 New York Assembly · 2023 Regular Session

Requires municipalities to maintain municipal websites

This bill requires all municipalities to maintain an official website using a .gov domain that is regularly updated and accessible to the public. The sites must include basic information such as operating hours, elected officials, and services, along with a clear privacy policy explaining how personal data is collected and used. Additionally, the law mandates that these websites display specific documents like meeting agendas, minutes, election notices, and links to local codes, as well as financial reports and budget information. Municipalities have 180 days after the law is enacted to comply with these new requirements.
