Law makes state forms accessible over the Internet

Assemblymember Susan John (131st District) announced a law she sponsored, making state forms available over the Internet, took effect April 7. "This law will make filling out and filing state forms and applications much easier," John said. "Now, busy New Yorkers can fill out forms in the comfort of their own homes whenever it is convenient for them."

The law requires that the state, and every state institution, make various forms, applications and information accessible over the Internet when feasible. John noted that traditional hard copy forms are still available at the appropriate state offices as well.

"We can eliminate paper work and make filling out state forms much more efficient by taking advantage of current technology," John said. "This law allows us to provide more convenient services."
