BILL NUMBER: S4380 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the public authorities law, in relation to the ownership status of transit facilities PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL : This bill would correct an unintended loophole in current law which allows a small group of MTA New York City Transit (NYCT) employees to recover from their employer in tort for personal injuries for which they have already been fully compensated by workers' compensation benefits. This loophole undermines the basic premise of the workers' compensation framework. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS : This bill amends the public Authorities Law ("PAL") to expressly provide that NYCT is the owner of all transit facilities in the City of New York solely for purposes of non-delegable duties of property owners imposed by state law.
