BILL NUMBER: S588 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the state finance law, in relation to the dedicated occupational safety and health training and education and occupational health clinic programs fund SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS : Section one amends section 97 -C of the State Finance Law by adding language in subsections 1, 2, 3 and 4 that requires dedicated funding for the occupational safety and health training and education and occupational health clinic programs fund. It also adds language to subsection 5 that indexes future increases to the funding to increases in the maximum rate for workers' compensation benefits pursuant to Paragraph (a) of subdivision 6 of section 15 of the workers' compensation law. JUSTIFICATION : Occupational clinics provide much needed health care to workers and occupational safety and health training and education provides necessary services to reduce the number of injured workers. These programs have long been subject to budget cuts that create uncertainty and jeopardize the effectiveness in reducing injuries and care for injured workers. This bill would safeguard these programs from future funding cuts and would capture the increased assessment based funds
