                                       May 3, 2017
                                       ___________
 
        Introduced  by  M.  of  A.  SCHIMMINGER -- read once and referred to the
          Committee on Corporations, Authorities and Commissions
 
        AN ACT to amend the public authorities law, in relation to the  term  of
          appointment  for the non-voting member recommended by the labor organ-
          ization representing the plurality of employees within  the  authority
          to the board of the Niagara Frontier transportation authority
 
          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section 1. Paragraph (b) of subdivision 1 of  section  1299-c  of  the
     2  public  authorities  law, as amended by chapter 220 of the laws of 2012,
     3  is amended to read as follows:
     4    (b) The first non-voting member of the  authority  who  shall  not  be
     5  considered in determining a quorum, shall be recommended to the governor
     6  by  the  labor  organization representing the plurality of the employees
     7  within the authority and shall be a resident  of  the  Niagara  Frontier
     8  transportation  district  as described in section twelve hundred ninety-
     9  nine-b of this title. Such first non-voting member  shall  be  appointed
    10  for a term of [eight] five years, provided, however, that if at any time
    11  during  the  term  of  appointment  such  non-voting member ceases to be
    12  affiliated with the labor organization  representing  the  plurality  of
    13  employees  within the authority, then such labor organization may at any
    14  time during such term recommend a new member to the governor  who  shall
    15  serve  the  remainder of the term. If the local bargaining unit decerti-
    16  fies its existing union affiliation and certifies a new union, the union
    17  which represents the plurality of the  employees  may  recommend  a  new
    18  member  to  the governor who shall serve the remainder of the term.  The
    19  chairman of the authority, at his or her discretion,  may  exclude  such
    20  non-voting member from attending any portion of a meeting of the author-
    21  ity  or of any committee held for the purpose of discussing negotiations
    22  with labor organizations, pending litigation involving the labor  organ-
    23  ization, or the investigation, evaluation, or discipline of an employee.
    24    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
