Relates to requiring state agencies to offer an option to speak to a live agency representative

S 1121 requires all New York state agencies (like departments, bureaus, and commissions) to give callers the option to speak with a live person immediately when contacting them by phone. The bill mandates that automated phone systems must present "speak to a live representative" as the first choice before offering any other menu options or prompts. This applies to any phone number the public uses to reach a state agency for inquiries. The law aims to make it easier for residents to get direct assistance without getting stuck in automated phone trees.
