Secretary of State of New York
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The office of the Secretary of State of New York was established in 1778, and is one of the oldest government agencies of the state of New York.
The Secretary is responsible for the regulation of a number of businesses and professions, including private investigators, cosmetologists, real estate brokers and appraisers, and notary publics. The Secretary also regulates cemeteries, registers corporations and business organizations, and maintains business records under the Uniform Commercial Code and other laws.
The Secretary's office includes the Office of Local Government Services, which provides training assistance to local governments in areas such as fire prevention, coastal management, and code enforcement.
The current Secretary of State of New York is Lorraine Cortés-Vázquez.
