On Oct. 8, 2003, Governor Pataki signed into law a bill, #S422A, which amended FCA '651(b) and DRL '72(2)(a) (b) (c), codifying jurisdiction to hear and determine petitions filed by grandparents for custody of their grandchildren. The amendments became effective Jan. 5, 2004. When the governor signed the legislation into law, it was lauded as an example of his commitment to New York State's children and families. Assemblyman Roger Green said, "In some cases, grandparents are the best viable guardian of a child. I therefore commend Governor Pataki for signing this law into effect on behalf of the many grandparents who work hard to provide a safe, nurturing home for their grandchildren. This is a wonderful day for grandparents and their grandchildren and the great State of New York."

Entrepreneurship. It has such a romantic ring, doesn’t it? When we hear the word, we think of incredibly successful people who must lead a charmed life. But the truth of the matter is often far from that. Just ask Melissa Rogozinski whose recent book, Becoming Phoenix, tells a much different story.
Agentic AI introduces risks that are novel and complex, but the most effective response is a familiar one. Zero Trust answers the problem of when an AI agent misfires on its own by constraining what an agent can do rather than betting on how it will behave.
California is betting that it can accelerate AI adoption by acting as a demanding, trusted buyer, and that the governance evidence it extracts through procurement can become infrastructure the rest of the market reuses.
