S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 365 2009-2010 Regular Sessions I N A S S E M B L Y (PREFILED) January 7, 2009 ___________ Introduced by M. of A. PERALTA, WALKER, COLTON, GREENE -- Multi-Spon- sored by -- M. of A. ALFANO, BARRA, BRENNAN, J. RIVERA, N. RIVERA -- read once and referred to the Committee on Labor AN ACT to amend the labor law, in relation to establishing the "minimum standards for subsidized jobs act" THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Short title. This act shall be known as the "minimum stand- ards for subsidized jobs act". S 2. Legislative findings and purpose. The legislature hereby finds and declares that: (a) Every year, New York state awards money in economic development subsidies to for-profit businesses. (b) When government invests in economic development, it makes no economic sense to support the creation or promotion of jobs that do not give workers the chance to earn a decent living. (c) When state-subsidized jobs provide low wages and poor benefits, they increase the need for government services, including public assist- ance for food, housing, health care, and child care. The purpose of this act is to improve the effectiveness of economic development expenditures, take pressure off state social services programs, and improve the public health and welfare by ensuring that major state subsidies are used to support at least minimum living stand- ards for working families. S 3. The labor law is amended by adding a new article 19-C to read as follows: ARTICLE 19-C MINIMUM STANDARDS FOR SUBSIDIZED JOBS ACT SECTION 695. DEFINITION. EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
