What it does
This bill would require the New York City Department of Records and Information Services to create a publicly available and searchable online database of every post to a social media platform by any official government account. In addition, all agencies and offices of elected officials would be required to annually provide to DORIS with information about official social media accounts associated with the agency or elected official. That information would be provided in a form designated by DORIS.
