2017-S6652 - Sponsor Memo

                                 BILL NUMBER:  S6652

 TITLE OF BILL :  An act to amend the real property law, in relation
to conflicts of interests for cooperative housing

 PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL :

The purpose of this bill is to ensure that cooperative housing boards
of directors are aware of certain laws relating to conflicts of
interest.

 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :

Section one of the bill establishes the requirement that, each year,
boards of director receive a copy of applicable state laws governing
interested parties or related party transactions, as the case may be.
In addition, all cooperative housing corporations incorporated under
the Business Corporation Law or the Not-for-Profit Law would need to
submit an annual report to the Attorney General identifying any votes
on contracts that were subject to such state law.

Section two of the bill establishes the effective date.

 DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ORIGINAL AND AMENDED VERSION (IF APPLICABLE) :

N/A

 JUSTIFICATION :

Cooperative housing boards of directors are supposed to be
representative of the housing development and are trusted with
promoting the best interest of the co-op tenants. However, that is not
always the case. In some instances, a member of the board may be
benefiting financially or by other means when a contract between a
cooperative housing development and a third party is entered into.
This bill would establish a notification requirement so members of a
co-op board are aware of existing laws. In addition, the bill would
require disclosure of any contracts that were voted on that were
subject to the existing laws governing interested party transactions
or related party transactions. That way, co-op tenants as well as the
board directors can be sure of the integrity of the management as it
relates to voting on contracts.

 PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :

New bill.

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS :

None.

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
The First of January next succeeding the date on which it shall have
become a law.

2017-S6652A (ACTIVE) - Sponsor Memo

                                 BILL NUMBER:  S6652A

 TITLE OF BILL :  An act to amend the not-for-profit corporation law
and the business corporation law, in relation to conflicts of
interests for condominium and cooperative housing

 PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL :

The purpose of this bill is to ensure that cooperative and condominium
housing boards of directors are aware of certain laws relating to
conflicts of interest.

 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :

Section one of the bill adds a new section to the Not-For-Profit
Corporation Law requiring annual reports for cooperative and
condominium housing incorporated under such laws to be submitted to
the members or the governing board (if there are no members)
identifying any votes on contracts that were subject to laws relating
to related party transactions.

Section two of the bill adds a new section to the Business Corporation
Law requiring annual reports for cooperative and condominium housing
incorporated under such laws to be submitted to shareholders
identifying any votes on contracts that were subject to laws relating
to related party transactions.

Section three of the bill establishes the effective date.

 JUSTIFICATION :

The original version of this bill related only to cooperative housing
and it also required the annual report to be submitted to the Attorney
General. The amended version is now applicable to condominiums (as
well as cooperative housing), requires the annual report to be
submitted to the members or shareholders, whichever the case may be,
and also makes specific reference to the laws governing related party
transactions or interested parties. In addition, the amended version
adds a new section containing the bill's provisions within the
Not-For-Profit Corporation Law and the Business Corporation Law
instead of adding a section to the Real Property Law.

 PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :

New bill.

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :

None.

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This act shall take effect on January 1St following enactment.
