S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 5737 2015-2016 Regular Sessions I N A S S E M B L Y March 4, 2015 ___________ Introduced by M. of A. ENGLEBRIGHT -- read once and referred to the Committee on Ways and Means AN ACT to amend the state finance law, in relation to the regulation of public-private partnerships 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 and may be cited as the "public-private partnership disclosure act". S 2. Legislative findings and purpose. The legislature hereby finds that agreements between state entities and commercial entities known as "public-private partnerships" whereby private monies are made available for public purposes can be beneficial and in the public interest. However, the legislature further finds that such partnerships generating and expending funds outside of the normal state budgetary process may distort properly enacted public priorities. In addition, the legislature finds that such partnerships if not created with full disclosure and full opportunity for public comment have the potential for creating conflicts of interest. Therefore, it is the purpose of the legislature to provide for the establishment of standards and requirements for full disclosure and public comment for public-private partnerships. S 3. The state finance law is amended by adding a new section 136-d to read as follows: S 136-D. PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS. 1. AS USED IN THIS SECTION, THE TERM "PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP" OR "PARTNERSHIP" SHALL MEAN AN AGREE- MENT BETWEEN A STATE AGENCY AND A CORPORATION, PARTNERSHIP, LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY OR OTHER PRIVATE COMMERCIAL ENTITY UNDER WHICH PRIVATE MONIES IN AN AMOUNT OF MORE THAN FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS ARE MADE AVAIL- ABLE FOR A PUBLIC CAPITAL PROJECT, A PUBLIC PROGRAM OR TO UNDERWRITE THE COST OF PUBLIC PERSONNEL IN RETURN FOR CONSIDERATION INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO NOTICE OR DISPLAY OF THE NAME OR LOGO OF THE PROVIDER OF THE PRIVATE MONIES. EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted. LBD09016-01-5
