          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
     1    Section 1. The executive law is amended by adding a new section 719 to
     2  read as follows:
     3    § 719. New York state cyber security initiative.  1. Legislative find-
     4  ings.  The legislature finds and declares that repeated cyber intrusions
     5  into critical infrastructure, effecting government, private sector busi-
     6  ness, and citizens of the state of New York, have demonstrated the  need
     7  for improved cyber security.
     8    The  legislature  further  finds  and  declares that this cyber threat
     9  continues to grow and represents one of the most serious public security
    10  challenges that New York must confront. Moreover, the  security  of  the
    11  state  of  New  York  depends  on  the  reliable functioning of New York
    12  state's critical infrastructure, and private sector business  interests,
    13  as  well  as  the protection of the finances and individual liberties of
    14  every citizen, in the face of such threats.
    15    The legislature additionally finds and declares that  to  enhance  the
    16  security, protection and resilience of New York state's critical infras-
    17  tructure,  and  private  sector  business  interests,  as  well  as  the
    18  protection of the finances and individual liberties  of  every  citizen,
    19  the  state  of New York must promote a cyber environment that encourages
    20  efficiency, innovation, and economic prosperity, and  that  can  operate
    21  with  safety,  security,  business  confidentiality,  privacy, and civil
    22  liberty.
