2023 New York Laws › EXC - Executive › Article 36-A - New York Motor Vehicle Theft and Insurance Fraud Prevention Program › 846-J - Legislative Findings.

§  846-j.  Legislative findings. Motor vehicle theft and motor vehicle
  insurance fraud is a major problem in this state  costing  honest  motor
  vehicle policyholders billions of dollars annually. As the cost of motor
  vehicle  insurance continues to rise, this essential coverage has become
  less affordable and more out of reach  for  many  New  Yorkers.  Between
  nineteen  hundred  eighty-five and nineteen hundred ninety-two, New York
  has seen over a fifty percent increase in the number  of  motor  vehicle
  thefts.  Over  one  hundred  sixty  thousand  motor  vehicles are stolen
  annually in this state at a cost of over seven hundred million  dollars.
  Between nineteen hundred eighty-six and nineteen hundred ninety-two, New
  York  has  also  seen  a  one  hundred sixty-six percent increase in the
  number of reported fraudulent claims; estimates have  put  the  cost  to
  policyholders for fraudulent activities at ten percent of premiums paid.
  The legislature acknowledges a direct relationship between the incidence
  of  motor  vehicle  theft, motor vehicle insurance fraud and the cost of
  motor vehicle insurance premium rates. The legislature finds,  therefor,
  that  to  reduce  the  overall  cost  of motor vehicle insurance in this
  state, measures must be enacted which specifically address the incidence
  of  motor  vehicle  theft  and  motor  vehicle  insurance  fraud.   This
  legislation   creates  the  motor  vehicle  theft  and  insurance  fraud
  prevention demonstration program, the goals of which are as follows:  to
  provide  an  integrated means to prevent, deter and reduce the incidence
  of motor vehicle theft and motor vehicle insurance fraud  by  developing
  and providing funding for demonstration programs which include education
  on motor vehicle theft and insurance fraud prevention, programs on motor
  vehicle  theft  and  insurance  fraud  prevention  and  specialized  law
  enforcement units to combat motor vehicle theft and insurance fraud.

2023 New York Laws › EXC - Executive › Article 39 - Office of Business Permits › 875 - Declaration of Purpose.

* § 875. Declaration  of purpose. The legislature finds and determines
  as follows:
1. Increasing regulation of business in the state has been accompanied
  by  a  proliferation  of  permits   entailing   multiple   requirements,
  jurisdictional   overlaps,   and   business   uncertainties.  More  than
  thirty-five state agencies issue  permits  affecting  business.  Permits
  number  in  the  hundreds  in  statute  with  still  more  in  rules and
  regulations.   Business moves  in  a  maze  of  permits,  licenses,  and
  approvals.
2.  The  public  interest  will be served by overcoming the delays and
  burdensome  permit  requirements  which  too  often  accompany  business
  regulation and by fixing responsibility for continuing and comprehensive
  action  designed  to  consolidate,  simplify,  or  expedite  the  permit
  procedures of state agencies.
3. Accomplishment of these purposes will be  facilitated  through  the
  establishment  of  an  office  for  business  permits  and  a program of
  business permit  assistance  in  state  government  which  will  provide
  comprehensive   permit   information,   one-stop   service   for  permit
  applicants, and the coordination of permit processing and review.
4. It is the intent of the legislature that the  program  of  business
  permit  assistance  will  be  directed  to  commercial,  or  non-profit,
  business undertakings, projects,  and  activities  rather  than  to  the
  routine  issuance  of  licenses  and  permits for individual privileges,
  including  the  occupational  licenses  for  practicing   a   trade   or
  profession,  licenses for operating a motor vehicle and amateur sporting
  licenses, such as for hunting and fishing.
5. It is the further intent of the legislature  that  the  program  of
  business   permit   assistance   focus   primarily   on  those  business
  undertakings needing special help with  state  agency  requirements  and
  procedures  and, generally improve the delivery of governmental services
  to businesses locating or expanding in the state.
6. The program of business permit assistance will  thereby  constitute
  an  economic  advantage to the state and facilitate such undertakings as
  commercial, industrial and residential  developments;  medical,  social,
  and educational installations; industrial location or expansion; changes
  in   manufacturing,   production,   and  distribution  processes;  local
  government projects; and general construction.
