 Introduced  by M. of A. ANGELINO, BRABENEC, DeSTEFANO, LEMONDES, MANKTE-
   LOW, McDONOUGH, MILLER, NORRIS  --  read  once  and  referred  to  the
   Committee on Small Business
 
 AN  ACT  to amend the economic development law, in relation to directing
   the department of economic development to study the attrition of small
   retail businesses from the state and create a pilot  program  to  help
   maintain  the  existence  of  small businesses within the state and to
   train and counsel small business owners and potential  small  business
   owners; and making an appropriation therefor
 
   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. Legislative findings. The legislature finds that the number
 of small businesses located  within  the  boundaries  of  the  state  is
 decreasing  at a rapid pace. In today's market place, the small business
 owner struggles to compete with the large corporate chain stores.    The
 legislature  further  finds that the existence of these small businesses
 within the state is crucial toward  the  strengthening  of  the  state's
 economy.  Therefore, it is imperative that steps be taken to help ensure
 the future existence and stability of these small businesses.
   § 2. The department of economic  development  is  hereby  directed  to
 conduct  a  comprehensive  study relating to the ability to retain small
 retail businesses within the state  and  is  further  directed  to  make
 recommendations  in  accordance  with  its  findings.  Such  study shall
 include, but not be limited to:
   1. The economic feasibility to grant money to communities to establish
 small retail business retention and development plans.
   2. The possibility of subsidizing, either in whole or in part,  retail
 entrepreneur education programs for small business owners throughout the
 state.
