This law would amend section 60 of the General Construction Law and section 1066 of the New York City Charter (the "Charter"), to authorize the electronic publication of The City Record. Under General Construction Law S 60, The City Record, as the long-standing official newspaper of the City of New York, is deemed a "newspaper" for the purpose of any law requiring the publication or advertisement of a notice in a newspaper. This law would clarify that The City Record is deemed a "newspaper" if it is published in print or electronic form. The law also would amend section 1066 of the Charter, which governs The City Record, to authorize New York City Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS) to publish The City Record in electronic form and to provide that electronic publication would have the same force and effect as print publication.

Relates to the publication of the City Record in electronic form.

Asm. James Brennan [D]
