Agency disposal of electronics.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to agency disposal of electronics

This bill would require any agency disposing of electronic equipment that contains a data storage device, including printers, copiers and computers, to fully erase such device before its disposal. Disposal includes transfers of equipment between agencies when such equipment contains sensitive or confidential information that is not relevant to the work of the agency receiving the equipment. City agencies, and third party contractors obligated to dispose of such equipment, must also certify that they have complied with the law.
