> New York's new DIGIT office opened its RAISE Portal on Nov 10, 2026, and the Governor's office says "Large frontier developers are required to register through the newly released RAISE Portal by January 1, 2027." From January, frontier developers must report critical safety incidents within 72 hours.

## What happened

- Confirmed by the Governor's office: the Office of Digital Innovation, Governance, Integrity, and Trust (DIGIT) launched an online portal on Nov 10, 2026, and large frontier AI developers must register through it by January 1, 2027.
- Confirmed: beginning in January, large frontier developers must publish safety frameworks on their websites, and all frontier developers must report critical safety incidents and publish model transparency reports. The release describes a requirement to report any critical safety incident within 72 hours.
- Confirmed by DIGIT's frontier developer page: large frontier developers must summarize their assessment of catastrophic risk from internal model use every three months, renew disclosure statements every two years, and access the portal with an NY.gov ID.
- Reported by TechCrunch: the law defines large frontier developers as companies with more than $500 million in annual revenue, and penalties can reach $1 million for a first violation and $3 million for later ones.
- The state also launched the New York Center for AI Responsibility and Research at SUNY Binghamton, which the Governor's office says will bring together more than 80 researchers to test and evaluate advanced AI systems and safety frameworks.

## How it compares

Reported by TechCrunch: California's SB 53, in effect since January, requires critical safety incidents to be reported within 15 days; New York's 72-hour window is far shorter. TechCrunch also reports that Illinois' SB 315 takes effect at the start of 2027 with independent safety compliance audits.

Our reading: a lab shipping a model in all three states would need the fastest of the three timelines, which is New York's, for incident reporting. That is our inference from the reported rules, not legal advice.

## Open questions

- Which companies DIGIT will treat as large frontier developers, and whether any have already registered.
- What specific enforcement the state will bring against companies that fail to register; TechCrunch reports a spokesperson declined to give specifics.
- How the new research center's reviews of safety frameworks will feed into enforcement.

## In the source's words

## What we have not verified

- We did not confirm the $500 million revenue threshold or the $1 million and $3 million penalty figures in the statute text; they are as reported by TechCrunch.
- We did not see the RAISE Portal itself, which requires an NY.gov ID.
- Which labs must register is not listed by the state; the OpenAI and Anthropic examples come from TechCrunch.
- The comparison with California SB 53 and Illinois SB 315 relies on TechCrunch's summary, not the bills' text.
