BILL NUMBER: S7617 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the public authorities law, in relation to the workers' compensation law application to employee status PURPOSE OF THE BILL : This bill would limit Canal Corporation employees to receiving workers' compensation benefits for an injury that occurs within the scope of employment and would close a loophole in current law which allows a Canal employee to sue the State of New York and the New York State Thruway Authority (NYSTA) for recovery for the same injury. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS : This bill would amend Public Authorities Law (PAL) §382(5) to provide that employees of the Canal Corporation shall be deemed to be employees of the Canal Corporation, the State and the NYSTA for the purposes of applying the Workers' Compensation Law. EXISTING LAW : PAL §382 created the Canal Corporation as a public benefit corporation
