Law new is a term often used to describe legal technology companies, start-ups and subsidiaries of law firms that augment traditional legal services. The companies are all using technology to change how legal services are delivered to consumers and businesses.
The term new can also be used to describe the resurgence and development of Thomistic natural law theory that began in the 1960s with the work of scholars Germain Grisez, John Finnis and Joseph Boyle. The theory is a revival of an ancient philosophical school of thought founded by St. Thomas Aquinas. It is now being used by scholars and practitioners to analyze a wide range of issues in law, including property rights, freedom of choice, moral absolutism and abortion.
New York State lawmaking begins with the idea for a law, or amendment to existing law, which is submitted in bill form to the Senate. A bill can come from a sitting senator, or from citizens or interest groups who recommend one to their senator. Once the bill is drafted, it is considered in committee where it is debated and amended. Once it passes both houses of the Legislature, it goes to the Governor, who has 10 days to sign or veto it. If the Governor signs a bill, it becomes law; if he or she vetoes it, the legislature cannot override that veto.
This bill would require City agencies to provide their employees and job applicants with a notice about student loan forgiveness programs. It would also amend City data breach laws to make them more consistent with State law.

It would also repeal the existing subchapter in the City’s Administrative Code relating to licensing of third-party food delivery services.
