net neutrality is a grab for power bad legislation

A Power of Attorney is a legal document that evidences the creation of a liaison between two people who are designated as "principal" and "agent". Through this document, the principal authorizes the agent to act on his or her behalf. A Power of Attorney can be general, so that the agent can conduct any sort of business on behalf of the principal, or it may be specific, i.e. restricted to the business expressly mentioned in the document.
New York power of attorney forms must meet the requirements of New York's General Obligations Law, which was substantially revised in 2009. As a result of the changes in New York law, all power of attorney forms in New York must: (a) have a font no small than 12 points; (b) be signed and notarized by both the principal and agent; and (c) include certain cautionary language set forth in the New York statute. If using a pre-printed power of attorney, be sure that it contains the required NY statutory language.
