NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
 
BILL NUMBER: A2160
 
SPONSOR: Dinowitz
  TITLE OF BILL: 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 author- ities   PURPOSE: To ensure funds allocated to the metropolitan transportation authority are used appropriately   SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section one of the bill amends § 2975 of the public authorities law exempting the MTA from cost recovery provisions. Section two of the bill provides the effective date.   EXISTING LAW:   JUSTIFICATION: The MTA is cash-strapped and is constantly increasing its debt load in order to pay operational costs and undertake critical repairs. This provision of law currently allows the state to charge the MTA money, essentially asking for a refund. There is simply no reason that the state should be taking resources away from the MTA at a time where breakdowns have become the norm and critical repairs and car replace- ments are being delayed.   PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: 2021-22: A.7851 - Corporations, Authorities and Commissions   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None to State.   EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect immediately.

        Introduced by M. of A. DINOWITZ -- read once and referred to the Commit-
          tee on Corporations, Authorities and Commissions
 
        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.
