                                BILL NUMBER:S8333

TITLE OF BILL:
An act to amend the general business law, in relation to auction
requirements

PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:
To add an exemption of auctions conducted by or on behalf of government
entities from the provisions of the recently passed auction requirements
established in Section twenty-nine of the General Business Law.

SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:

Section one of this Chapter amendment would lower the population thresh-
old of counties affected by this statute from 200,000 to 45,000 people.

Section two states that the new paragraph f of subdivision eight of
section twenty-nine would exempt auction or auctions of certain highway
equipment conducted by or on behalf of the federal government, or the
state, its agencies, bureaus, boards, commissions and authorities, or
any political subdivision of the state, or the agencies and authorities
of any such subdivision from the "Requirements for Auctions" section of
the General Business Law.  Section twenty-three of the General Business
Law, Automobile Auctioneers, has a similar automobile exemption for
auctions by governmental entities.

Section three of the bill would provide for the effective date.

JUSTIFICATION:

It has become clear during the legislative process that S.4113D/ A.1730D
went through that many more counties in the State of New York would
benefit enormously from the provisions provided in this chapter.

In addition, the auctioning of motor vehicles has a long established
system regulated under section twenty-three of the general business law
that provides for the exclusion of auctions conducted by the state, its
agencies, political subdivisions, and other entities. This bill recog-
nizes that governmental auctions are different from those performed in
the art market and provides for language similar to the automobile
auctioneer statute that will exempt those auctions from the provisions
of requirements for auctions as established in a chapter of the laws of
2010, as proposed in legislative bill numbers S.4313D and A.1730D.

PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
New bill.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None.

EFFECTIVE DATE:

This bill would take effect on the same date as a chapter of the laws of
2010, in relation to auction requirements.

  S 2. Subdivision 8 of section 29 of the general business law, as added

relating to auction  requirements,  as  proposed  in  legislative  bills
numbers  S. 4313-D and A. 1730-D, is amended by adding a new paragraph f
to read as follows:
  F. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION SHALL NOT APPLY TO AUCTIONS OF VEHI-
CLES OR HIGHWAY TOOLS, MACHINERY OR EQUIPMENT CONDUCTED BY OR ON  BEHALF
OF  THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, OR THE STATE, ITS AGENCIES, BUREAUS, BOARDS,
COMMISSIONS AND AUTHORITIES, OR ANY POLITICAL SUBDIVISION OF THE  STATE,
OR THE AGENCIES AND AUTHORITIES OF ANY SUCH SUBDIVISION.
  S  3.  This  act  shall  take  effect on the same date and in the same
manner as a chapter of the laws of 2010 amending  the  general  business
law  relating  to auction requirements, as proposed in legislative bills
