S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 2303 2015-2016 Regular Sessions I N A S S E M B L Y January 15, 2015 ___________ Introduced by M. of A. ENGLEBRIGHT, MORELLE, MARKEY, PEOPLES-STOKES, COLTON, LUPARDO, RIVERA, ABBATE, BROOK-KRASNY, CLARK, MAGNARELLI, GUNTHER, CAHILL, DINOWITZ -- Multi-Sponsored by -- M. of A. BENEDETTO, GOTTFRIED, OAKS, PAULIN, ROSENTHAL -- read once and referred to the Committee on Aging AN ACT to amend the elder law, in relation to establishing the mature work task force, and providing for its powers and duties THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. The legislature hereby finds and declares that the demographic projections are showing clearly that older workers will continue to make up a rapidly growing percentage of the work force. This growth represents the fact that the population as a whole is getting older due to several factors, including the aging of the baby boom generation, lower birth rates for generations imme- diately following the baby boom, longer life expectancies and younger generations leaving the state to work elsewhere. The legislature believes efforts must be undertaken to identify priorities, policy alternatives and emerging issues with respect to assisting both busi- nesses and older New Yorkers in preparing for the impact of this tremen- dous demographic shift. The legislature therefore establishes the mature worker task force to ensure a coordination of public and private efforts to address the needs of the growing numbers of older workers and to help allocate resources as necessary. This newly established task force shall be comprised of appropriate state agency personnel, as well as aging advocates, mature workers ages fifty-five and older, senior service providers, employment training specialists, and representatives of labor and business interests. S 2. The elder law is amended by adding a new article 3 to read as follows: EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted. LBD06645-01-5
