   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-

 [or], transfer, OR SUSPENSION OF SERVICE; and
   2.  make  reasonable efforts to confer with the affected workforce and
 any other party he or she deems  appropriate  to  inform  such  affected

 SERVICE plan.
   §  2.  This act shall take effect immediately; provided, however, that
 the amendments to subdivision (d) of section 13.17 of the mental hygiene
