                                BILL NUMBER:S6128

TITLE OF BILL:

An act
to amend the public authorities law, in relation to the Montgomery,
Otsego, Schoharie county solid waste management authority

PURPOSE OF BILL:

To clarify a chapter of the laws of 2011 amending the Montgomery,
Otsego, Schoharie county solid waste management authority ("MOSA")
act, Title 13-AA of the public authorities law, as proposed in
legislative bill numbers S.4555-A and A.7212, that would allow
Otsego county, under certain circumstances, to terminate its
membership in MOSA and to amend provisions of the MOSA act to take
into account the possibility that Otsego county would so terminate
such membership.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 of the bill would provide a new definition for "authority"
if and at such time Otsego county terminates its membership in MOSA.

Section 2 would provide a new membership structure for the board of
the authority if and at such time Otsego county terminates its

membership in MOSA.

Section 3 would amend § 2041-w of the MOSA act, as amended by a
chapter of the laws of 2011 as proposed in legislative bill numbers
S.4555-A and A.7212, to (i) ensure that Otsego county meets its
obligations and responsibilities, and terminates its membership,
consistent with existing and hereafter-entered superseding agreements
between the authority and the three counties, and (ii) establish a
formula based upon a 2009 agreement between the parties to be used
with respect to dividing up each of the counties' assets and
liabilities upon such termination.

Section 4 would make the bill effective on the same date and in the
same manner as a chapter of the laws of 2011 amending the MOSA act,
as proposed in legislative bill numbers S.4555-A and A.7212.

EXISTING LAW:

The MOSA act, originally enacted in 1987, established a tri-county
authority to address solid management-related matters in Montgomery,
Otsego and Schoharie counties. A chapter of the laws of 2011 as
proposed in legislative bill numbers S.4555-A and A.7212 would
provide Otsego county with the authority, under certain
circumstances, to terminate its membership in MOSA and establish an

allocation formula to be used by the three counties upon such
termination.

STATEMENT IN SUPPORT:

The bill would clarify that Otsego County's termination of its
membership in MOSA must be consistent with existing or
hereafter-entered agreements between MOSA and the three counties,
conform provisions of the MOSA act with the authority granted to
Otsego county to terminate its membership, and to provide a formula
to be used with respect to dividing up each of the counties' assets
and liabilities upon such termination.

EFFECTIVE DATE:

Effective on the same date and in the same manner as a chapter
of the laws of 2011 amending the MOSA act, as proposed in
legislative bill numbers S.4555-A and A.7212.
