                                 BILL NUMBER:  S1113

 TITLE OF BILL :
An act to amend the public lands law, in relation to recycling on all
state-owned and state-leased real property


 PURPOSE :
To implement a recycling program for all state owned and state leased
properties.

 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :
Section one amends the public lands law by adding a new section 3-a.
The first paragraph of which authorizes the commissioner of General
Services to direct and coordinate a recycling management program
consistent with the recommendations provided by the waste reduction
and recycling program that would be implemented six months after this
bill is passed. The second paragraph states that all other departments
and agencies of the state shall receive assistance from the
commissioner of the respective agency in allowing the office to carry
out the provisions set forth in the first section of the bill. The
third paragraph states that the commissioner of each state agency
shall develop incentive policies to encourage offices within each
agency to adhere to the program established in section one of the
bill.  Paragraph four requires that all new and renewed lease hold
agreements established after the effective date of this bill must

include the provisions stated in this bill in contracts the state
agency signs on to. Paragraph five states that on or before January
first 2010, and on an annual basis after that that the commissioner of
each affected state agency must report to the governor and the
legislature on the effectiveness of the program. The commissioner also
may make recommendations to the said bodies on how to increase
efficiency and improve the implementation of and incentives for the
program. Section two states that this act shall take effect
immediately.

 JUSTIFICATION :
Each day tons of garbage enters the waste stream, placing a burden on
landfills found throughout the state. The state can play a role in
fostering greater efforts at recycling by both setting an example at
state-owned facilities as well using its "power-of-the purse" to spend
state dollars at facilities that have recycling programs. It is
important that the state lead the way in recycling efforts in order to
spur private interest in such programs and to use its power the best
way possible to help preserve this planet's resources for future
generations.

 LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :
2008: S.7843

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :
Minimal.

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This act shall take effect immediately
