Introduced by Sen. GIANARIS -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
printed to be committed to the Committee on Rules
AN ACT to amend the public authorities law, in relation to exempting the
metropolitan transportation authority from the requirement for public
authorities to reimburse the state for services provided to such
authorities
The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-bly, do enact as follows:
1 Section 1. Subdivision 1 of section 2975 of the public authorities
2 law, as added by chapter 62 of the laws of 1989, is amended to read as
3 follows:
4 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, every
5 public authority and every public benefit corporation created by or
6 pursuant to [New York] state law at least three of whose members are
7 appointed by the governor, whether such authority or corporation is
8 otherwise governed by this chapter (such entities, as so constituted, to
9 be hereafter in this title referred to as "public benefit corpo-
10 rations"), shall reimburse to [New York] the state an allocable share of
11 state governmental costs attributable to the provision of services to
12 public benefit corporations, as determined [herein] in this title.
13 Provided, however, that the provisions of this section and, for the
14 purposes of this section, the term "public benefit corporation" shall
15 not include the metropolitan transportation authority, as established in
16 title eleven of article five of this chapter. The payment of such costs
17 by public benefit corporations is a valid and proper purpose for which
18 available authority funds may be applied.
19 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
[] is old law to be omitted.
