The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-bly, do enact as follows:
1 Section 1. The labor law is amended by adding a new section 219-b to

3 § 219-b. Outsourcing of jobs prohibited. 1. For purposes of this
4 section the following terms shall have the following meanings:
5 (a) "outsource" shall mean to relocate or move jobs outside of the
6 state of New York to another state or country;
7 (b) "state funding" shall mean the provision of any awards, grants,
8 loans, tax benefits or any other financial assistance by the state to a
9 business entity; and

13 2. No business entity shall receive state funding if a determination
14 is made by the commissioner that such business entity has outsourced
15 jobs. Upon a determination by the commissioner that a business entity
16 has outsourced jobs, the commissioner shall notify such business entity
17 of such determination. Upon receipt of such notice, such business entity
18 shall have thirty days within which to request a hearing regarding such

20 by the commissioner. Failure to request a hearing within thirty days
21 shall be deemed a waiver of such business entity's right to a hearing.
22 If after such hearing a determination is made that such business entity
23 has outsourced jobs or after expiration of such thirty day period, no
24 further state funding shall be made to such business entity.
25 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
