Section 111-R. Requirement to respond to requests for information

All
  employers, as defined in section one hundred eleven-m  of  this  article
  (including  for-profit,  not-for-profit and governmental employers), are
  required to provide information promptly on the employment, compensation
  and benefits of any individual employed by such employer as an  employee
  or  contractor, when the department or a social services district or its
  authorized representative, or another state's child support  enforcement
  agency  governed by title IV-D of the social security act, requests such
  information for the purpose of establishing paternity, or  establishing,
  modifying  or  enforcing  an order of support.   To the extent feasible,
  such  information  shall  be  requested  and  provided  using  automated
  systems, and shall include, but is not limited to, information regarding
  the  individual's  last  known  address,  date of birth, social security
  number, plans  providing  health  care  or  other  medical  benefits  by
  insurance  or  otherwise,  wages,  salaries, earnings or other income of
  such individual.   Notwithstanding any other provision  of  law  to  the
  contrary,  such  officials  are not required to obtain an order from any
  judicial or administrative tribunal in order to request or receive  such
  information.  The department shall be authorized to impose a penalty for
  failure  to  respond  to  such  requests  of five hundred dollars for an
  initial failure and seven hundred dollars for the second and  subsequent
  failure.
