2009-S7594 - Sponsor Memo

                                 BILL NUMBER:  S7594

 TITLE OF BILL :

An act to amend the labor law, in relation to prohibiting state
funding to businesses that outsource jobs


 PURPOSE :

Allow State funding when applicable to those companies that create
jobs within New York State and prohibit financial incentives for
companies that send jobs outside the State.

 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :

Section 219 of the Labor Law, which details violations of certain wage
payment provisions, is amended.

 EXISTING LAW :

None, although efforts have been made in the New York State
Legislature to address this topic.

 JUSTIFICATION :

As jobs are consolidated and cut, and as companies recoup profits
through different measures, workers will feel the effects through
diminished wages, decreased work hours and loss of their position to
lower paid workers. Outsourcing is an attractable option for companies
looking to cut their costs and it is our intention to create barriers
for companies that choose this option. It is logical that a company
should not be rewarded with State funding when they utilize the monies
for workers outside the State.

The local economy often feels the affect of outsourcing for fewer jobs
are available to local residents. In turn, quality-of-life is
diminished as residents are left without viable forms of employment in
their local town, village or county and are thus pressured to seek
employment elsewhere, sometimes outside New York State.

Finally, as outsourcing continues and residents leave the State, tax
monies that can be utilized to create new jobs are lost due to a
decline in the number of residents.

The premise of this proposed legislation is simple: keeps jobs and
residents in New York State.

 LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :

New bill.

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :

None expected.

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This act shall take effect immediately.
