Law New
Law new is a collection of legal information that includes a brief description of an important recent case or a law or rule change. It also describes other resources that can be used to get more information about the cases or laws or rules. The sources are often helpful in understanding how the courts came to their decisions.
This website lets users access court decisions by citation or subject, as well as by opinion number and judge’s name. It is a great resource for researching federal and state cases, as well as municipal court opinions. The website is provided by the New York City Law Department through a contract with the American Legal Publishing Corporation.
New York state’s lawmaking branch, the legislature, passes laws that are periodically codified in the New York Consolidated Laws and interpreted by the courts. These laws govern the way that the government runs the State of New York.
Congress is the lawmaking branch of the federal government. Bills, which are proposed changes to existing laws, can be introduced by members of Congress and by citizen petitions to a member of Congress that represents them. The bills are then assigned to a committee where they can be studied and amended. If the bill is not approved in committee, it will not become a law.
In this case, the court ruled that New York City’s open meetings law applies to “public bodies.” The term public body is broadly defined and includes city councils, town boards, village boards of trustees, school boards and commissions. It also covers committees and subcommittees of these entities.
The law would require city agencies to disclose any security breach involving personal information of City residents. It would align some definitions in City law with the requirements of the State’s SHIELD Act. The law also would make it easier for people to request that their private data be deleted from an agency’s files.
