Use of global positioning system coordinates for 311 complaints and service requests.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the use of global positioning system coordinates for 311 complaints and service requests

This bill would require the Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications to ensure that the 311 mobile application and website track and have the capability to accept global positioning service, also known as GPS, coordinates when customers are submitting complaints and service requests. This bill would also require that customers give their consent before the website or app can detect their real-time location, and that they have the ability to cease sharing their data or delete previously stored data from the website or app at any time.
