     3    § 2. The civil service law is amended by adding a new  section  13  to
     4  read as follows:
     5    §  13.  Teleworking programs.   1. Each state agency shall establish a
     6  policy and program to allow employees to perform all  or  a  portion  of
     7  their duties  through teleworking to the maximum extent possible without
     8  diminished    employee  performance. Each state agency shall designate a

    10  tion of teleworking programs.
    11    2. For the purposes of this section, the term:

    15  substantially reducing the physical commute to and from such state agen-
    16  cy's principal location; and
    17    (b) "state agency" shall mean any  state  department,  board,  bureau,
    18  division, commission, committee, public authority, public benefit corpo-
    19  ration,  council,  office,  or  other  governmental  entity performing a
    20  governmental or proprietary function for the state.
    21    3. No agency shall establish a policy pursuant to this section for any
    22  employee that is subject to a  collective  bargaining  agreement  unless
    23  such  policy  has  been  mutually  agreed  to between the agency and the
