Law new refers to legislation that is recently proposed, debated, and enacted by a legislative body. When Congress or another legislative body passes a law, it becomes an official rule that governs behavior within a society or country. Think of law new like a group project in which students propose different ideas about how to improve their school, and then vote on one idea that eventually becomes an official policy that everyone must follow.
The law is organized into three levels: constitutional, statutory and regulatory. The Constitution provides the overarching legal framework. Statutory law includes laws passed by a legislature and signed into law by the executive branch (the President, Secretary of State, and Governor). The regulation of a particular subject matter is often governed by a law called the City Charter.
This bill would license third-party food delivery services and repeal subchapter 22 of chapter 5 of title 20 of the administrative code of the city of New York, relating to third-party food delivery services. The bill also amends the existing data breach notification law to make it more consistent with requirements under New York State’s SHIELD Act, and would require City agencies that experience a data breach involving the private information of persons to promptly disclose that fact to affected persons.
