Section 23-601
§ 23-601 Mobile access to additional information. a. Any permit,
license, or registration that is issued by any city agency, and which is
required by any law or rule to be conspicuously posted or otherwise
visible to the public, shall include technology or technologies, such as
a quick response code or a near field communication tag, by which an
individual with a properly equipped mobile device may directly access
publicly available information maintained online by the agency relating
specifically to such permit, license, or registration. "Scan for more
info," or other similarly descriptive text describing the purpose or use
of the technology, shall be printed near the technology or technologies
on the permit, license, or registration.
b. The requirements of subdivision a of this section shall not apply
to any permit, license, or registration about which no publicly
available information beyond that which is printed on such permit,
license, or registration is maintained online by the agency issuing such
permit, license, or registration. If publicly available information
maintained by the agency beyond that which is printed on such permit,
license, or registration is made available by the agency online
subsequent to the issuance of such permit, license, or registration, the
requirements of subdivision a of this section shall apply to the next
issuance of such permit, license, or registration.
c. The department of information technology and telecommunications, or
any successor agency, shall prepare and publish a technical manual
specifying the appropriate technology or technologies for inclusion on
such permits, licenses, and registrations, taking into account, at a
minimum, the cost, accessibility, and potential usefulness of the
technology or technologies, and shall review, and update as necessary,
such manual at least once every two years.
