BILL NUMBER:S6619 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the public service law, in relation to public hearing requirements before a gas or electric corporation closes a call center PURPOSE: Chapter 330 of the laws of 2010 required that no call center of a gas or electric facility may relocate without a hearing before the Public Service Commission (PSC). This legislation outlines the specific criteria for the required hearing. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Amends paragraph (b) of subdivision 13 of section 65 of the public service law. Requires that a public hearing must be called with 20 to 60 days of receipt by the PSC of the notice to relocate and defines what constitutes a public hearing. JUSTIFICATION: Chapter 330 of the laws of 2010 requires that no electric or gas call center may be relocated without a hearing before the PSC. Recently there has been brought to the Legislature's attention that the PSC has not had a required public hearing on a possible call center closure. It appears there are some questions as to what constitutes the hearing required by this statute; this legislation will clarify the requirements.
