BILL NUMBER:S2284
Title of bill
An act to amend the private housing finance law, in relation to confidentiality of contents of applications for admission or reports for surcharge purposes
Purpose/summary of provisions
To assure confidentiality of Mitchell-Lama housing tenants' applications for admission and income affidavits submitted during occupancy for surcharge purposes.

An individual's privacy is directly affected by the extensive collection, maintenance, use and dissemination of personal information. In order to preserve an individual's privacy and thereby his opportunities to secure employment, credit, insurance and right to due process, it is necessary to enact legislation to assure the confidentiality of the Mitchell-Lama tenants' private records.

None.
Fiscal implications
None to the state.
