An organization shall be deemed under the control of one 13 or more municipal corporations, industrial development agencies, 14 districts or agencies when one or more individuals who serve as officers 15 or employees of any such municipal corporation, industrial development 16 agency, district or agency: (a) select either a majority of the organ- 17 ization's highest policy-making body or the organization's chief execu- 18 tive officer; (b) constitute a majority of the voting strength that 19 selects either a majority of the organization's highest policy-making 20 body or the organization's chief executive officer; or (c) serve as: 21 (i) a majority of the organization's highest policy-making body; (ii) in 22 his or her official capacity, the organization's chief executive offi- 23 cer; or (iii) in his or her official capacity, a partner in the organ- 24 ization.

LBD08963-01-9S. 5445 2 1 corporations, industrial development agencies, districts or agencies 2 shall also include any other organization that is controlled by such 3 organization. 4 2. In connection with any examination authorized by subdivision one of 5 this section, the comptroller and each examiner of municipal affairs 6 shall have power to administer an oath to any person whose testimony may 7 be required, and to compel the appearance and attendance of such person 8 for the purpose of any such examination and investigation, and the 9 production of books and papers. In the case of a municipal corporation, 10 industrial development agency, or school district, no such person shall 11 be compelled to appear or be examined elsewhere than within such munici- 12 pal corporation, industrial development agency, or school district. In 13 the case of any district other than a school district, no such person 14 may be compelled to appear or be examined elsewhere than within the town 15 or one of the towns in which such district or portion thereof is 16 located. In the case of an urban renewal agency, no such person shall be 17 compelled to appear or be examined outside the municipal corporation 18 wherein such agency is established. In the case of a fire company, no 19 such person shall be compelled to appear or be examined outside the area 20 served by the company. In the case of an activity, no such person shall 21 be compelled to appear outside the area served by the activity. In the 22 case of an organization under the control of one or more municipal 23 corporations, industrial development agencies, districts or agencies, no 24 such person shall be compelled to appear or to be examined outside the 25 county in which the organization has its principal headquarters. Willful 26 false swearing in such examination shall be perjury and shall be punish- 27 able as such. 28 3. For purposes of this section, the term "a majority of the organiza- 29 tion's highest policy-making body" shall mean a majority of the whole 30 number of positions comprising such body, provided, however, that if the 31 documents establishing the organization's internal governance allow such 32 body to act by a majority of a quorum, then such term shall mean a 33 majority of the quorum. 34 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
