Be it enacted by the Council as follows:

 

Section 1. Section 130 of title 21 of the administrative code of the city of New York is amended by adding a new subdivision c to read as follows:

c. The department shall develop an online platform for sign-in and record keeping at emergency shelters for victims of domestic violence and shall publish information about such platform on the department’s website. Consistent with rules promulgated by the commissioner, an individual subject to daily census requirements, as described in sections 452.9 and 900.11 of title 18 of the New York codes, rules, and regulations, may sign-in for census purposes through such online platform. The online platform shall include a client portal where client documents shall be digitally stored and may be accessed by the department and clients for the provision of services.
