   Section  1.  The commissioner of the department of labor, in consulta-
 tion with the commissioners of the office of  temporary  and  disability

 services, and the department of taxation and finance (hereinafter,  "the
 commissioners"),  any other department, division, board, bureau, commis-

 mum  wage  has  or  will  have on the eligibility of the working poor to
 receive important and necessary services. Such study  shall  include  an
 analysis of any effect on the eligibility of working individuals for all
 programs  with  an  income  eligibility requirement and/or the potential
 reduction in benefits under  such  programs,  which  may  occur  due  to
 increased  wages. The study shall also examine the impact on individuals
 and families near the poverty level of the loss  of  services,  programs
 and  subsidies and the adequacy of increased wages to cover the costs of
 such expenses.
   § 2. The commissioners shall publish such report to the governor,  the
 temporary  president  of  the  senate,  the speaker of the assembly, the
 minority leader of the senate, and the minority leader of the  assembly,
 no later than December 31, 2019.
   § 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
