                                 BILL NUMBER:  S3029

 TITLE OF BILL :  An act to amend the executive law, in relation to
establishing the disaster-related latent damage recovery grant program

 PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL :

To ensure that communities with residual or worsening damage related
to a natural disaster have an opportunity to request additional funds
to address these ongoing issues.

 SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS :

Section 1: Executive law is amended by adding a new section 719
establishing the Disaster-related latent damage recovery grant
program.

Section 2: Effective Date.

 JUSTIFICATION :

In recent years, several unprecedented natural disasters have wrought
havoc on communities across our state. From tropical storms Irene, Lee
and Hurricane Sandy to the widespread flooding that struck upstate
communities in June of 2013, weather related natural disasters have
impacted nearly every corner of our state in recent years. The state

and federal response to these disasters has gone a long way towards
ensuring that our communities were able to get back on their feet.
However, many communities still have critical disaster-related
infrastructure needs that have not yet been addressed.

The true extent of the damage to physical infrastructure is not always
apparent during initial assessments. Damage to drainage systems,
subterranean erosion, and salt water damage are often missed
immediately following a disaster, and may not become apparent until
months or years later. When latent damage is discovered, it can be
difficult for communities to secure the additional resources they
need.

This bill addresses this challenge by making additional disaster
recovery funds available for up to 7 years after a declaration of a
state of emergency by the Governor. Municipalities can apply for
assistance in amounts up to 10 percent of the sum of any disaster
relief aid previously received by that municipality from state and
federal sources, but not more than $10 million dollars in any calendar
year. This aid is intended to specifically address latent damage to
infrastructure.

This bill recognizes that disaster recovery is a long term process and
seeks to ensure that communities continue to have access to the
resources they need to maintain the safety and integrity of their
public, infrastructure.

 PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :

2015/2016 S.5182A

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS :

To be determined.

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This act shall take effect on the one hundred eightieth day after it
shall have become a law; provided, however, that effective
immediately, the addition, amendment and/or repeal of any rule or
regulation necessary for the implementation of this act on its
effective date is authorized and directed to be made and completed on
or before such effective date.

 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. The executive law is amended by adding a new section 719 to
 read as follows:
   §  719.  DISASTER-RELATED  LATENT  DAMAGE  RECOVERY  GRANT PROGRAM. 1.
 THERE IS HEREBY ESTABLISHED THE DISASTER-RELATED LATENT DAMAGE  RECOVERY

   2. PROJECTS ELIGIBLE FOR PROGRAM GRANTS SHALL BE LIMITED  TO  PROJECTS
 TO  REPAIR  LATENT  DAMAGE TO PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE, INCLUDING PUBLICLY-
 OWNED ROADS, BRIDGES, DRAINAGE AND FLOOD MITIGATION SYSTEMS,  ELECTRICAL
 AND  MECHANICAL  SYSTEMS  AND  COMMUNICATION  SYSTEMS, AND ANY ANCILLARY
 INFRASTRUCTURE NECESSARY FOR THE SAFE OPERATION OF THE COMPONENTS THERE-
 OF, WHERE SUCH DAMAGE WAS THE RESULT OF A NATURAL DISASTER FOR WHICH THE
 GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK MADE A DECLARATION OF A STATE OF EMER-
 GENCY. FOR PURPOSES OF THIS SECTION, "LATENT DAMAGE" SHALL BE DEFINED AS
 DAMAGE THAT WAS  NOT  REASONABLY  APPARENT  DURING  ANY  INITIAL  DAMAGE
 ASSESSMENTS.    IN NO EVENT SHALL GRANTS BE AWARDED FOR, NOR SHALL GRANT
 MONEY BE USED FOR, INFRASTRUCTURE  REPAIRS  THAT  ARE  REQUIRED  DUE  TO

 WITHIN AVAILABLE APPROPRIATIONS.  APPLICATION FOR SUCH GRANTS  SHALL  BE
 SUBMITTED NO MORE THAN SEVEN YEARS, BUT NO LESS THAN ONE YEAR, AFTER THE
 GOVERNOR'S  DECLARATION OF THE STATE OF EMERGENCY THAT RENDERS A MUNICI-
 PALITY ELIGIBLE FOR GRANTS AUTHORIZED BY THIS SECTION. IN NO EVENT SHALL
 GRANTS EXCEED TEN PERCENT OF THE SUM OF ANY STATE  OR  FEDERAL  DISASTER
 ASSISTANCE  MONIES  GRANTED  TO  A MUNICIPALITY AS A RESULT OF A NATURAL
 DISASTER THAT WERE AWARDED PRIOR TO AN APPLICATION FOR A GRANT  STEMMING

 the date on which it shall have become a law;  provided,  however,  that
 effective immediately, the addition, amendment and/or repeal of any rule
