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

  Section  1. Section 83 of the workers' compensation law, as amended by
chapter 149 of the laws of 2000, is amended to read as follows:

business of the state fund, and may from time to time  alter,  amend  or
repeal any rule therefore adopted. At least [four] SIX affirmative votes
shall  be  required  for  the  adoption of any rule, or the amendment or
repeal of any rule. No rule, and no resolution proposing to alter, amend
or repeal any rule, shall be effective unless approved  by  the  commis-
sioner of labor. If the commissioner of labor fails to act upon any such
rule or resolution within thirty days after it is communicated to him or
her, such rule or resolution shall be deemed to have been approved.
  The  rules  of  the commissioners shall provide for the conduct of the
business of the state insurance fund, including the issuance of policies
and their terms and conditions, the fixing of premium rates, the keeping
of records, auditing of payrolls, and  the  billing  and  collection  of
premiums therefor, the inspection of risks and the setting of the stand-
ards of safety, the adjustment and payment of claims and awards, and the
investigation  of  all matters relating thereto, the medical examination
of persons claiming compensation and the furnishing and  supervision  of
medical  and  surgical treatment to persons injured as set forth in this
chapter, the conduct of the legal business of the fund and the  enforce-
ment  of  the  subrogated  rights of the fund against third parties, the
investment of the surplus and reserves of the fund, and  the  collection
and  analysis  of  statistics of payrolls, premiums, losses and expenses
and the actuarial consideration thereof.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
