BILL NUMBER: S6834 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the public authorities law, in relation to exempting the metropolitan transportation authority from the requirement for public authorities to reimburse the state for services provided to such authorities PURPOSE : To ensure funds allocated to the metropolitan transportation authority are used appropriately SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS Section 1 amends section 2975 of the public authorities law exempting the MTA from cost recovery provisions JUSTIFICATION : The MTA is cash-strapped and is constantly increasing its debt load in order to pay operational costs and undertake critical repairs. This provision of law currently allows the state to charge the MTA money, essentially asking for a refund. There is simply no reason that the state should be taking resources away from the MTA at a time where breakdowns have become the norm and critical repairs and car replacements are being delayed.
