AN ACT to establish the New York state automatic identification technol-
  ogy privacy task force

  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Legislative intent. The legislature finds that new technol-
ogies  can have a profound impact on people and social systems.  The use
of new technologies can be very beneficial, but care must  be  taken  to
ensure  that  such  technologies are used responsibly. Automated systems
used to identify, track,  record,  store  and  transfer  data,  commonly
referred  to  as  automatic  identification technology, are increasingly
being used by public and private entities, including retailers, manufac-
turers, and hospitals. The legislature recognizes that as the  price  of
automatic  identification  technology  decreases, the employment of this
technology is expected to  increase  rapidly.  The  legislature  further
recognizes  that  automatic identification technologies may have privacy
implications affecting consumers and the general public. The legislature
further recognizes that such technology has numerous applications  bene-
ficial  to  public and private entities and affecting both consumers and
the general public. The legislature further recognizes that  understand-
ing  various applications and potential privacy concerns regarding auto-
matic identification technology is an area that needs study  and  review
in  order  to  determine what protections, if any, are needed to protect
personal privacy.
  S 2. The New York state automatic  identification  technology  privacy
task  force  is hereby established. The role of the task force includes,
but is not limited to:
  (a) assessing the privacy issues associated with  the  application  of
automatic  identification  technologies,  including  but  not limited to
optical bar code scanning, radio frequency identification,  smart  card,

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
