BILL NUMBER: S4040

SPONSOR: MAYER
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the general municipal law, in relation to the organiza-
tion of industrial development agencies and the definition of labor
organization

 
PURPOSE:

To make industrial development agencies more open and responsive to the
communities they serve by requiring school board and labor represen-
tatives, published agendas and notice to interested parties.

 
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:

Section 1 amends section 854 of the genera: municipal law to define
labor organization.

Section 2 amends subdivision 2 of section !SE of the general municipal
law to require Local labor and school board representatives on :DAs.

Section 3 establishes the effective date.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

New York State law authorizes industrial development agencies to grant
incentives, including tax abatements and PILOTs, to businesses and
projects to promote job growth and the vitality of our local economies.
The actions they take, including granting P:LCTs, tax abatements, and
terms of the incentives, have substantial impacts on community members,
workers, and taxpayers. Yet, many of these actions are veiled from those
that are affected.

For instance, school districts are required to deal with the budget
impacts of P1101's without knowing of upcoming meeting or having a say
in the process. Local workers, who have much at stake in this process
and the projects, have been excluded from the discussion and decision
making concerning the projects and the incentives, and concerned citi-
zens can be blindsided by :DA agendas released hours before the meet-
ings, leaving little time for public input.

This bill requires that all industrial development agencies have at
least one representative from a local labor union, at least one repre-
sentative from a school board.
