S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 2550 2011-2012 Regular Sessions I N S E N A T E January 25, 2011 ___________ Introduced by Sens. BONACIC, KRUEGER, RANZENHOFER -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Investigations and Government Operations AN ACT to amend the legislative law, in relation to hiring of certain non-partisan legislative employees THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative findings. The legislature hereby finds and declares that unnecessary duplication of services between the senate and assembly is a waste of taxpayer resources and otherwise fails to promote a form of government which is based on competency and ability rather than political patronage.

S 2. The legislative law is amended by adding a new section 8-a to read as follows: S 8-A. NON-PARTISAN HIRING OF CERTAIN EMPLOYEES OF THE LEGISLATURE. 1. THE SPEAKER OF THE ASSEMBLY, MINORITY LEADER OF THE ASSEMBLY, TEMPORARY PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE AND MINORITY LEADER OF THE SENATE (HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AS "THE LEADERSHIP") SHALL, WITHIN NINETY DAYS OF THE EFFEC- TIVE DATE OF THIS SECTION, JOINTLY DEVELOP A LIST OF ALL EMPLOYEE TITLES WHICH ARE NOT HIRED UPON THE RECOMMENDATION OF A MEMBER SPECIFICALLY TO SERVE IN THAT MEMBER'S OFFICE OR ON THE COMMITTEE STAFF OF ANY COMMITTEE THAT MEMBER IS THE CHAIRPERSON OR RANKING MINORITY MEMBER OF. SUCH EMPLOYEE TITLES SHALL INCLUDE THOSE EMPLOYEES WHO PERFORM SERVICES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PAYROLL, ACCOUNTING, DISTRICT OFFICE OPERATIONS, SUPPLIES, TECHNOLOGY, POSTAL SERVICES, DOCUMENT PRINTING AND DISTRIBUTION, RESEARCH, MEDIA SERVICES INCLUDING THE OPERATION AND SCHE- DULING OF RECORDING SESSIONS, PERSONNEL SERVICES, FINANCIAL ANALYSIS AND REPORTING, STATE BUDGET ANALYSIS AND REPORTING.
