The legislation is designed to ensure that the public has access to records relating to the operation of governmental agencies, and that these documents are not obscured by confidentiality provisions.

Additionally, the legislation is designed to provide protections to businesses whose employees are involved in the transportation of goods and services for their employer. It requires that employers provide a written statement to the employee informing them of the transportation requirements, as well as an assurance that there are no transportation regulations in place that would prevent them from complying with these requirements. It also requires that these statements and assurances be provided in English, so that the employee understands the language that is used by the employer.

The legislation is intended to ensure that the City’s data breach notification laws are in line with the State’s SHIELD Act. Under the legislation, City agencies that suffer a data breach involving private identifying information would be required to promptly notify affected persons, and to provide such notices in a format accessible to persons with disabilities. It would also amend the definitions of “personal identifying information” to be consistent with State law, and to make certain amendments to the requirements imposed on agencies with respect to notices to affected persons. This bill is the result of a recommendation made by the City’s Office of Information Technology and Telecommunications. The legislation was introduced by Councilmember Stephen Levin and approved by the Committee on the Environment.
