AUTHORITY TO THE SUPERINTENDENT OR OTHER PERSON IN CHARGE OF  ANY  JAIL,
PENITENTIARY, LOCKUP OR DETENTION PEN TO WHOM IT IS DELIVERED TO HOLD IN
TEMPORARY  DETENTION  THE  PERSON  NAMED  THEREIN. DURING SUCH PERIOD OF

OR  SHE  BE  RELEASED.  THE  COURT SHALL CONSIDER ALL RELEVANT FACTS AND
CIRCUMSTANCES AND RENDER AN INDEPENDENT JUDGMENT IN  MAKING  A  DECISION
UNDER THIS SUBDIVISION AND SHALL NOT RELY ON THE DETERMINATION TO TEMPO-

S. 6255--A                         10                         A. 9055--A

                                 PART E

  Section 1. The penal law is amended by adding a new article 62 to read
as follows:
                               ARTICLE 62
                           CRIMINAL FORFEITURE
SECTION 62.00 CRIMINAL FORFEITURE.
S 62.00 CRIMINAL FORFEITURE.
  1.  UPON APPLICATION OF THE PEOPLE, THE COURT, IN IMPOSING SENTENCE ON
A PERSON CONVICTED OF A CRIME DEFINED IN ANY CHAPTER OF THE LAWS OF  THE
STATE,  SHALL  ORDER THAT THE PERSON FORFEIT ANY PROCEEDS OF A CRIME AND
SUBSTITUTED PROCEEDS OF A CRIME, AS THOSE TERMS ARE DEFINED  IN  SECTION
425.00  OF  THE  CRIMINAL PROCEDURE LAW. UPON APPLICATION OF THE PEOPLE,
THE COURT, IN IMPOSING SENTENCE ON A PERSON CONVICTED OF A FELONY  CRIME
DEFINED  IN  ANY  CHAPTER OF THE LAWS OF THE STATE SHALL ALSO ORDER THAT
THE PERSON FORFEIT ANY PROPERTY, REAL OR PERSONAL, WHICH CONSTITUTES  AN
INSTRUMENTALITY  OF  A  FELONY  CRIME AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED IN SECTION
425.00 OF THE CRIMINAL PROCEDURE LAW.
  THE FORFEITURE ORDER SHALL DIVEST FROM THE DEFENDANT, AND AWARD TO THE
PEOPLE, ALL OF THE DEFENDANT'S INTEREST IN THE  PROPERTY  FORFEITED,  AS
DEFINED IN SECTION 425.00 OF THE CRIMINAL PROCEDURE LAW. WHERE THE COURT
IMPOSES  A  SENTENCE  OF  FORFEITURE  UPON  PROPERTY  THAT IS NOT IN THE
PEOPLE'S OR THE CLAIMING AGENT'S OR THE COURT'S CUSTODY AT THE  TIME  OF
THE IMPOSITION OF THAT SENTENCE, THE FORFEITURE ORDER MAY BE ENFORCED IN
THE SAME MANNER AS AUTHORIZED BY ARTICLE FIFTY-ONE OF THE CIVIL PRACTICE
LAW AND RULES BY ANY CLAIMING AGENT, AS DEFINED IN SUBDIVISION TWELVE OF
SECTION  1310  OF  THE  CIVIL  PRACTICE LAW AND RULES, EXCEPT THAT, UPON
APPLICATION OF THE PEOPLE, THE COURT MAY, AT IMPOSITION OF  A  SENTENCE,
ISSUE  OTHER  ORDERS TO OBTAIN POSSESSION OF PROPERTY ORDERED FORFEITED.
WHEN THE COURT IMPOSES A  SENTENCE  OF  FORFEITURE  UPON  PROPERTY,  THE
PEOPLE'S  INTEREST  IN  THE  FORFEITED PROPERTY VESTS AT THE TIME OF THE
OFFENSE THAT GAVE RISE TO THE FORFEITURE, UNLESS A  THIRD  PARTY  ESTAB-
LISHES THAT HE OR SHE WAS A BONA FIDE PURCHASER. UPON APPLICATION OF THE
PEOPLE,  THE  COURT, IN IMPOSING A SENTENCE UPON A PERSON, SHALL AWARD A
MONEY JUDGMENT TO THE PEOPLE AND AGAINST  THE  DEFENDANT  IN  AN  AMOUNT
EQUAL  TO  THE  VALUE  OF  THE  PROPERTY WHICH CONSTITUTES THE PROCEEDS,
SUBSTITUTED PROCEEDS, OR INSTRUMENTALITY OF  THE  CRIME  OR  CRIMES,  AS
DEFINED  IN SECTION 425.00 OF THE CRIMINAL PROCEDURE LAW, GIVING RISE TO
THE FORFEITURE. THE TOTAL AMOUNT THAT MAY BE  RECOVERED  BY  THE  PEOPLE
AGAINST A CRIMINAL DEFENDANT SHALL NOT EXCEED THE VALUE OF THE PROCEEDS,
OR  SUBSTITUTED  PROCEEDS  OF THE CRIME, WHICHEVER AMOUNT IS GREATER, IN
ADDITION TO THE VALUE OF ANY FORFEITED INSTRUMENTALITY.
  2. IN THE EVENT OF A PENDING CRIMINAL ACTION IN WHICH A DEFENDANT  HAS
ABSCONDED  FROM  THE  JURISDICTION  OF  THE  COURT,  THE COURT MAY ORDER

S. 6255--A                         11                         A. 9055--A

FORFEITURE OF ANY SEIZED  OR  RESTRAINED  PROPERTY,  REAL  OR  PERSONAL,
CONSTITUTING,  OR  DERIVED  FROM,  PROCEEDS  OF  A CRIME AND SUBSTITUTED
PROCEEDS OF A CRIME AS THOSE TERMS ARE DEFINED IN SECTION 425.00 OF  THE
CRIMINAL  PROCEDURE  LAW,  AS WELL AS ANY SEIZED OR RESTRAINED PROPERTY,
REAL OR PERSONAL, WHICH  CONSTITUTES  AN  INSTRUMENTALITY  OF  A  FELONY
CRIME,  AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED IN SECTION 425.00 OF THE CRIMINAL PROCE-
DURE LAW.  THE COURT MAY DISALLOW A PERSON FROM USING THE  RESOURCES  OF
THE  COURTS  OF  THE  STATE OF NEW YORK IN FURTHERANCE OF A CLAIM IN ANY
RELATED FORFEITURE ACTION OR A CLAIM IN THIRD PARTY PROCEEDINGS  IN  ANY
RELATED CRIMINAL FORFEITURE ACTION UPON A FINDING THAT SUCH PERSON:
  (A)  AFTER  NOTICE  OR KNOWLEDGE OF THE FACT THAT A WARRANT OR PROCESS
HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR HIS OR HER APPREHENSION, IN ORDER TO AVOID  CRIMINAL
PROSECUTION:
  (I) PURPOSELY LEAVES THE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK;
  (II)  DECLINES  TO ENTER OR REENTER THE STATE OF NEW YORK TO SUBMIT TO
ITS JURISDICTION;
  (III) OTHERWISE EVADES THE JURISDICTION OF THE COURT IN WHICH A CRIMI-
NAL CASE IS PENDING AGAINST THE PERSON; AND
  (B) IS NOT CONFINED OR HELD IN CUSTODY IN ANY OTHER  JURISDICTION  FOR
COMMISSION OF CRIMINAL CONDUCT IN THAT JURISDICTION.
  THIS  SUBDIVISION  MAY BE APPLIED TO A CLAIM FILED BY A CORPORATION IF
ANY MAJORITY SHAREHOLDER OR INDIVIDUAL FILING THE CLAIM ON BEHALF OF THE
CORPORATION IS A PERSON TO WHOM THIS SUBDIVISION APPLIES.
  3. ANY PROPERTY SUBJECT TO FORFEITURE UNDER THIS SECTION MAY BE SEIZED
BY LAW ENFORCEMENT, EX PARTE AND UNDER SEAL, UPON A SHOWING OF  PROBABLE
CAUSE TO BELIEVE THAT THE PROPERTY IS FORFEITABLE, EXCEPT THAT A SEIZURE
MAY BE MADE WITHOUT A WARRANT:
  (A) PURSUANT TO AN ORDER OF ATTACHMENT; OR
  (B) IF THERE IS PROBABLE CAUSE TO BELIEVE THAT THE PROPERTY IS SUBJECT
TO FORFEITURE; AND
  (I) THE SEIZURE IS MADE PURSUANT TO A LAWFUL ARREST OR SEARCH; OR
  (II)  ANOTHER EXCEPTION TO THE FOURTH AMENDMENT WARRANT REQUIREMENT OF
THE FEDERAL CONSTITUTION APPLIES.
  ANY MOTION FOR THE RETURN OF PROPERTY SEIZED UNDER THIS SECTION  SHALL
BE FILED IN THE COURT IN WHICH THE SEIZURE WARRANT WAS ISSUED.
  4.  OTHER  THAN AS PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION, THE PROCEEDINGS GOVERNING
FORFEITURE OF PROPERTY, INCLUDING ANY SEIZURE AND DISPOSAL OF THE  PROP-
ERTY  UNDER THIS ARTICLE, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION
425.00 OF THE CRIMINAL PROCEDURE LAW.
  5. NOTHING IN  THIS  ARTICLE  SHALL  SUPERSEDE  LOCAL  LAWS  AFFECTING
FORFEITURE OR ANY SEIZURE OR FORFEITURE PROVISIONS OF THE TAX LAW.

ture  until  such  conviction  has  occurred.  However, an action may be
commenced, and a court may grant a  provisional  remedy  provided  under
this article, prior to such conviction having occurred.  An action under
this  paragraph  must  be  dismissed at any time after sixty days of the
commencement of the action unless the conviction upon which  the  action
is  grounded has occurred, or an [indictment or information] APPROPRIATE
ACCUSATORY INSTRUMENT AS DEFINED IN SUBDIVISION ONE OF SECTION  1.20  OF

  S 4. Subdivision 6 of section 220.50 of the criminal procedure law, as
added by chapter 655 of the laws of 1990, is amended to read as follows:

HAVE PROVEN BY A PREPONDERANCE OF THE EVIDENCE THAT THE SPECIFIC PROPER-
TY  IS  THE  PROCEEDS  OF  CRIME, SUBSTITUTED PROCEEDS OF A CRIME, OR AN
INSTRUMENTALITY OF A FELONY CRIME, AS APPLICABLE, OR, WHERE  THE  PEOPLE
SEEK  A  PERSONAL MONEY JUDGMENT, THE COURT MUST DETERMINE THE AMOUNT OF

PREPONDERANCE OF THE EVIDENCE THAT THE SPECIFIC PROPERTY IS PROCEEDS  OF
CRIME, SUBSTITUTED PROCEEDS OF A CRIME, OR AN INSTRUMENTALITY OF A FELO-
NY  CRIME,  AS APPLICABLE. THE DETERMINATION OF THE AMOUNT OF A PERSONAL
MONEY JUDGMENT SHALL BE MADE ONLY BY THE COURT AND  IN  ACCORDANCE  WITH

ING  WHETHER  A  THIRD PARTY HAS SUCH AN INTEREST MUST BE DEFERRED UNTIL
ANY THIRD PARTY FILES A CLAIM UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF  THIS  ARTICLE  OR
ARTICLE  SIXTY-TWO  OF  THE PENAL LAW. THE FORFEITURE ORDER IS PART OF A
DEFENDANT'S SENTENCE. EVEN WHERE A DEFENDANT HAS AGREED TO FORFEITURE OF
CERTAIN PROPERTY, THE COURT STILL MUST ISSUE A FORFEITURE ORDER.
  2. SENTENCE AND JUDGMENT. AT SENTENCING  --  OR  AT  ANY  TIME  BEFORE
SENTENCING  IF  THE  DEFENDANT  CONSENTS -- THE FORFEITURE ORDER BECOMES
FINAL AS TO THE DEFENDANT. IF THE ORDER DIRECTS THE DEFENDANT TO FORFEIT
SPECIFIC PROPERTY, THEN  THE  ORDER  REMAINS  PRELIMINARY  AS  TO  THIRD
PARTIES  UNTIL  ANY ANCILLARY PROCEEDING IS CONCLUDED UNDER THIS SECTION
IF A THIRD PARTY TIMELY FILES A CLAIM, AS SET FORTH IN  SECTIONS  425.20
AND 425.25 OF THIS ARTICLE. IF NO THIRD PARTY TIMELY FILES A CLAIM UNDER

OWNER"  MEANS  AN  OWNER  WHO DID NOT KNOW OF THE CONDUCT GIVING RISE TO
FORFEITURE; OR UPON LEARNING OF THE CONDUCT GIVING RISE TO  THE  FORFEI-
TURE,  DID ALL THAT REASONABLY COULD BE EXPECTED UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES

FORFEITURE.
  AN OTHERWISE VALID CLAIM UNDER THIS SECTION SHALL NOT BE DENIED ON THE
GROUND THAT THE CLAIMANT GAVE NOTHING OF VALUE IN EXCHANGE FOR THE PROP-
ERTY IF:
  A. THE PROPERTY IS THE PRIMARY RESIDENCE OF THE CLAIMANT; OR

OF  THE  MEANS  TO  MAINTAIN REASONABLE SHELTER IN THE COMMUNITY FOR THE
CLAIMANT AND ALL DEPENDENTS RESIDING WITH THE CLAIMANT; OR
  C. THE PROPERTY IS NOT, AND IS NOT TRACEABLE TO, THE PROCEEDS  OF  ANY
CRIMINAL OFFENSE; OR

INNOCENT OWNER HAS A PARTIAL INTEREST IN PROPERTY OTHERWISE  SUBJECT  TO
FORFEITURE,  OR A JOINT TENANCY OR TENANCY BY THE ENTIRETY IN SUCH PROP-
ERTY, THE COURT MAY ENTER AN APPROPRIATE ORDER  SEVERING  THE  PROPERTY;
TRANSFERRING THE PROPERTY TO THE PEOPLE WITH A PROVISION THAT THE PEOPLE
COMPENSATE  THE    INNOCENT  OWNER TO THE EXTENT OF HIS OR HER OWNERSHIP
INTEREST ONCE A FINAL ORDER OF FORFEITURE HAS BEEN ENTERED AND THE PROP-
ERTY HAS BEEN REDUCED TO LIQUID ASSETS; OR PERMITTING THE INNOCENT OWNER

THE  SUBJECT  OF A SPECIAL VERDICT OF FORFEITURE AND THEREAFTER SHALL BE
ORDERED FORFEITED, UNLESS THE TRANSFEREE ESTABLISHES IN A HEARING PURSU-
ANT TO THIS SECTION THAT HE IS A BONA FIDE PURCHASER FOR VALUE  OF  SUCH
PROPERTY  WHO  AT  THE  TIME OF PURCHASE WAS REASONABLY WITHOUT CAUSE TO
BELIEVE THAT THE PROPERTY WAS SUBJECT TO FORFEITURE UNDER THIS SECTION.
S 425.25 STAY PENDING APPEAL.
  IF A DEFENDANT APPEALS FROM A CONVICTION OR AN  ORDER  OF  FORFEITURE,
THE  COURT  MAY  STAY  THE  ORDER  OF FORFEITURE ON TERMS APPROPRIATE TO
ENSURE THAT THE PROPERTY REMAINS AVAILABLE PENDING APPELLATE  REVIEW.  A
STAY  DOES  NOT DELAY THE ANCILLARY PROCEEDING OR THE DETERMINATION OF A
THIRD PARTY'S RIGHTS OR INTERESTS. IF THE COURT RULES IN  FAVOR  OF  ANY
THIRD PARTY WHILE AN APPEAL IS PENDING, THE COURT MAY AMEND THE ORDER OF
FORFEITURE  BUT MUST NOT TRANSFER ANY PROPERTY INTEREST TO A THIRD PARTY
UNTIL THE  DECISION  ON  APPEAL  BECOMES  FINAL,  UNLESS  THE  DEFENDANT
CONSENTS IN WRITING OR ON THE RECORD.

  c. Notwithstanding any other provision  of  law  to  the  contrary,  a
person  whose  membership  in  a public retirement system has terminated
other than as a result of transfer, retirement or death, or a member  of
a  public  retirement  system  who is not vested and not entitled to any
other  benefit from such system under this article, and who no longer is
employed by a participating employer of such public retirement system in
a position upon which his or her membership is based, may  withdraw  his
or her member contributions by filing a written demand for withdrawal of
contributions  and  membership pursuant to rules and regulations promul-
gated by the public retirement system of which he or she  is  a  member.
Upon the death of a person whose membership previously terminated due to
lack  of  credited  service  and  who did not withdraw his or her member
contributions, or upon the death of a member, provided a  death  benefit
pursuant  to  section six hundred seven of this article is not paid, the
member contributions of such person shall be refunded to such person  as
he  or  she  shall  have nominated to receive a death benefit by written

provision  of  law  to  the contrary, a member may, upon separation from
service of the state or a participating employer, withdraw  his  or  her

such date as such individual has accrued ten years of  credited  service
in  such  system.  However,  the withdrawal of contributions pursuant to
this section by an individual who has accrued at  least  five  years  of
creditable  service shall terminate his or her membership and all rights
in such retirement system in the same manner as withdrawal  of  contrib-
utions  would  terminate  the  membership  of  an individual who has not
attained vested status. Nothing in this section shall  be  construed  as
permitting an individual who has accrued at least ten years of credit in
a retirement system to withdraw member contributions, OR TWELVE YEARS OF
CREDIT  IN A PUBLIC RETIREMENT SYSTEM OF THE STATE FOR MEMBERS WHO FIRST
BECOME MEMBERS OF A PUBLIC RETIREMENT SYSTEM OF THE STATE  ON  OR  AFTER

  S 167-a. Reimbursement  for  medicare  premium charges. Upon exclusion
from the coverage of the health benefit plan  of  supplementary  medical
insurance  benefits for which an active or retired employee or a depend-

federal old-age, survivors and disability insurance program,  an  amount
equal  to  the  premium  charge for such supplementary medical insurance
benefits for such active or retired employee and his or her  dependents,
if  any,  shall  be paid monthly or at other intervals to such active or
retired employee from the health insurance fund. Where appropriate, such
amount may be deducted from contributions payable  by  the  employee  or
retired employee; or where appropriate in the case of a retired employee
receiving  a  retirement  allowance,  such  amount  may be included with
payments of his or her retirement allowance. All state employer, employ-
ee, retired employee and dependent contributions to the health insurance
fund, INCLUDING CONTRIBUTIONS FROM PUBLIC  AUTHORITIES,  PUBLIC  BENEFIT
CORPORATIONS  OR OTHER QUASI-PUBLIC ORGANIZATIONS OF THE STATE, shall be
adjusted as necessary to cover the cost of reimbursing federal  old-age,

subscription  charges  for health coverage provided to [state] employees
and retired [state] employees OF THE STATE, PUBLIC  AUTHORITIES,  PUBLIC
BENEFIT  CORPORATIONS  OR OTHER QUASI-PUBLIC ORGANIZATIONS OF THE STATE;
provided, however, the state, PUBLIC AUTHORITIES, PUBLIC BENEFIT  CORPO-
RATIONS  OR  OTHER  QUASI-PUBLIC ORGANIZATIONS OF THE STATE shall remain
obligated to pay no less than its share of such increased cost  consist-
ent  with  its  share of premium or subscription charges provided for by
this article. All other employer contributions to the  health  insurance
fund shall be adjusted as necessary to provide for such payments.
  S  2.  This  act  shall take effect immediately and shall be deemed to
have been in full force and effect on and after April 1, 2012.

itive,  and state agencies shall conduct formal competitive procurements
to the maximum extent practicable. State  agencies  shall  document  the

service department and municipal commissions may establish  interdepart-
mental  promotion  ELIGIBLE  lists  which  shall  not  be certified to a

OF THE STATE SERVICE, THE STATE CIVIL SERVICE DEPARTMENT MAY CERTIFY  AN
INTERDEPARTMENTAL  PROMOTION  ELIGIBLE  LIST  AND DEPARTMENTAL PROMOTION
ELIGIBLE LIST FOR FILLING POSITIONS WITHOUT PREFERENCE  TO  THE  DEPART-
MENTAL PROMOTION ELIGIBLE LIST.
  S 5. Subdivision 11 of section 52 of the civil service law, as amended
by chapter 214 of the laws of 1989, is amended to read as follows:

examinations [if such examinations are to be held  in  conjunction  with
open competitive examinations].
  S 6. Subdivision 6 of section 52 of the civil service law, as added by
chapter 790 of the laws of 1958, paragraph (a) as amended by chapter 210

  (b) Except as provided in section fifty-one OF THIS ARTICLE, vacancies
in administrative positions IN THE COMPETITIVE CLASS shall be filled, so
far  as  practicable,  by  promotion as prescribed in subdivision one of
this section, which may be made from among persons  holding  administra-
tive  positions  in  lower  grades  without regard to the specialties of
their lower grade positions. The  civil  service  department,  upon  the
request  of an appointing officer stating the reasons why the filling of
administrative positions in grade fourteen or higher under his jurisdic-
tion from an  interdepartmental  promotion  list  or  a  promotion  list
including  persons employed in other units of government would be in the
best interests of the state service, or upon its own initiative whenever
it finds that the filling of administrative positions in grade  fourteen
or  higher in any department from such an interdepartmental or intergov-
ernmental promotion list would be in the best  interests  of  the  state
service,  may  certify  such  an  interdepartmental or intergovernmental
promotion list for filling such positions, without preference to depart-
mental lists or to  eligibles  holding  lower  grade  positions  in  the
department or promotion unit in which such positions exist.
  (c) Transfers shall be allowed between administrative positions in the
same  or  related  or collateral specialties which involve substantially
equivalent COMPETITIVE EXAMINATIONS OR NON-COMPETITIVE tests  or  quali-
fications, subject to such conditions and limitations as the state civil
service department may prescribe.
  (d)  The  provisions  of  this  subdivision  shall  be  applicable and
controlling, notwithstanding any other provisions  of  this  section  or
chapter or any other law.
  S  7. Subdivision 1 of section 70 of the civil service law, as amended
by chapter 718 of the laws of 1993, is amended to read as follows:
  1. General provisions. Except as provided in subdivisions four and six
of this section no employee IN THE COMPETITIVE OR NON-COMPETITIVE  CLASS
shall  be  transferred to a position for which there is required by this
chapter or the rules  established  hereunder  an  examination  involving
essential  tests  or  qualifications different from or higher than those
required for the position held by such employee. The state and municipal
commissions may adopt rules governing  transfers  between  positions  in
their  respective  jurisdictions  and  may  also  adopt reciprocal rules
providing for the transfer of employees from one governmental  jurisdic-
tion  to  another.  No  employee shall be transferred without his or her
consent except as provided in subdivision six of this section or    upon

S. 6255--A                         86                         A. 9055--A

the  transfer  of  functions  as  provided  in  subdivision  two of this
section. NOTWITHSTANDING THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION FIFTY OF THIS CHAPTER
OR ANY OTHER LAW, TRANSFERS IN THE STATE SERVICE PURSUANT TO THIS SUBDI-
VISION  FROM  NON-COMPETITIVE CLASS POSITIONS TO COMPETITIVE CLASS POSI-
TIONS SHALL BE PERMITTED ONLY WHERE THE NON-COMPETITIVE TESTS OR  QUALI-
FICATIONS INCLUDE POSSESSION OF CREDENTIALS, LICENSES, OR CERTIFICATIONS
GRANTED  BY  APPROPRIATE  REGULATORY  BODIES  WHICH  ARE  SIMILAR TO THE
REQUIRED ESSENTIAL TESTS OR  QUALIFICATIONS  OF  THE  COMPETITIVE  CLASS
POSITION.
  S  8. Subdivision 4 of section 70 of the civil service law, as amended
by chapter 718 of the laws of 1993, is amended to read as follows:
  4. Transfer and change of title.  Notwithstanding  the  provisions  of
subdivision  one  of  this  section  or  any other provision of law, any
permanent employee in the competitive, NON-COMPETITIVE, OR  LABOR  class
who  meets all of the requirements for a competitive examination, and is
otherwise qualified as determined by the state civil service  commission
or  the municipal civil service commission, as the case may be, shall be
eligible for participation in a non-competitive examination in a differ-
ent position classification, provided, however, that  such  employee  is
holding a position in a similar grade.
  S  9.  Section  70 of the civil service law is amended by adding a new
subdivision 3 to read as follows:
  3. TRANSFER OF PERSONNEL UPON THE CONSOLIDATION OR MERGER OF  AGENCIES
OR DEPARTMENTS OF THE STATE. OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES TRANSFERRED PURSUANT
TO  SUBDIVISION ONE OR TWO OF THIS SECTION TO A NEW DEPARTMENT OR AGENCY
SHALL BE TRANSFERRED IN THEIR CURRENT CIVIL SERVICE  CLASSIFICATION  AND
STATUS. TRANSFERRED PERMANENT EMPLOYEES WHOSE POSITIONS ARE SUBSEQUENTLY
RECLASSIFIED  TO  ALIGN  WITH  THE  DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THEIR

university construction bonds and state  university  construction  notes
previously  issued  by the housing finance agency; or (2) such bonds are

of  this subdivision, the present value of the aggregate debt service of
the refunding  bonds  and  the  aggregate  debt  service  of  the  bonds
refunded, shall be calculated by utilizing the true interest cost of the

discount  the  debt  service  payments  on  the refunding bonds from the
payment dates thereof to the date of issue of the refunding bonds to the
purchase price of the refunding bonds, including interest accrued there-

bonds  issued to refund outstanding bonds, shall not exceed the weighted
average economic life, as certified by the state university construction
fund, of the facilities in connection with which the bonds  are  issued,

York, and the state university construction  fund  are  prohibited  from
covenanting  or  making  any other agreements with or for the benefit of
bondholders which might in any way affect such right.

OR  SHE  BE  RELEASED.  THE  COURT SHALL CONSIDER ALL RELEVANT FACTS AND
CIRCUMSTANCES  AND  RENDER  AN INDEPENDENT JUDGMENT IN MAKING A DECISION

                                 PART E

  Section 1. The penal law is amended by adding a new article 62 to read
as follows:
                               ARTICLE 62
                           CRIMINAL FORFEITURE
SECTION 62.00 CRIMINAL FORFEITURE.
S 62.00 CRIMINAL FORFEITURE.
  1. UPON APPLICATION OF THE PEOPLE, THE COURT, IN IMPOSING SENTENCE  ON
A  PERSON CONVICTED OF A CRIME DEFINED IN ANY CHAPTER OF THE LAWS OF THE
STATE, SHALL ORDER THAT THE PERSON FORFEIT ANY PROCEEDS OF A  CRIME  AND
SUBSTITUTED  PROCEEDS  OF A CRIME, AS THOSE TERMS ARE DEFINED IN SECTION
425.00 OF THE CRIMINAL PROCEDURE LAW. UPON APPLICATION  OF  THE  PEOPLE,
THE  COURT, IN IMPOSING SENTENCE ON A PERSON CONVICTED OF A FELONY CRIME
DEFINED IN ANY CHAPTER OF THE LAWS OF THE STATE SHALL  ALSO  ORDER  THAT
THE  PERSON FORFEIT ANY PROPERTY, REAL OR PERSONAL, WHICH CONSTITUTES AN
INSTRUMENTALITY OF A FELONY CRIME AS THAT TERM  IS  DEFINED  IN  SECTION
425.00 OF THE CRIMINAL PROCEDURE LAW.
  THE FORFEITURE ORDER SHALL DIVEST FROM THE DEFENDANT, AND AWARD TO THE
PEOPLE,  ALL  OF  THE DEFENDANT'S INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY FORFEITED, AS
DEFINED IN SECTION 425.00 OF THE CRIMINAL PROCEDURE LAW. WHERE THE COURT
IMPOSES A SENTENCE OF FORFEITURE  UPON  PROPERTY  THAT  IS  NOT  IN  THE
PEOPLE'S  OR  THE CLAIMING AGENT'S OR THE COURT'S CUSTODY AT THE TIME OF
THE IMPOSITION OF THAT SENTENCE, THE FORFEITURE ORDER MAY BE ENFORCED IN
THE SAME MANNER AS AUTHORIZED BY ARTICLE FIFTY-ONE OF THE CIVIL PRACTICE
LAW AND RULES BY ANY CLAIMING AGENT, AS DEFINED IN SUBDIVISION TWELVE OF
SECTION 1310 OF THE CIVIL PRACTICE LAW  AND  RULES,  EXCEPT  THAT,  UPON
APPLICATION  OF  THE PEOPLE, THE COURT MAY, AT IMPOSITION OF A SENTENCE,
ISSUE OTHER ORDERS TO OBTAIN POSSESSION OF PROPERTY  ORDERED  FORFEITED.
WHEN  THE  COURT  IMPOSES  A  SENTENCE  OF FORFEITURE UPON PROPERTY, THE
PEOPLE'S INTEREST IN THE FORFEITED PROPERTY VESTS AT  THE  TIME  OF  THE
OFFENSE  THAT  GAVE  RISE TO THE FORFEITURE, UNLESS A THIRD PARTY ESTAB-
LISHES THAT HE OR SHE WAS A BONA FIDE PURCHASER. UPON APPLICATION OF THE
PEOPLE, THE COURT, IN IMPOSING A SENTENCE UPON A PERSON, SHALL  AWARD  A
MONEY  JUDGMENT  TO  THE  PEOPLE  AND AGAINST THE DEFENDANT IN AN AMOUNT
EQUAL TO THE VALUE OF  THE  PROPERTY  WHICH  CONSTITUTES  THE  PROCEEDS,
SUBSTITUTED  PROCEEDS,  OR  INSTRUMENTALITY  OF  THE CRIME OR CRIMES, AS
DEFINED IN SECTION 425.00 OF THE CRIMINAL PROCEDURE LAW, GIVING RISE  TO
THE  FORFEITURE.  THE  TOTAL  AMOUNT THAT MAY BE RECOVERED BY THE PEOPLE

S. 6255--B                         11                         A. 9055--B

AGAINST A CRIMINAL DEFENDANT SHALL NOT EXCEED THE VALUE OF THE PROCEEDS,
OR SUBSTITUTED PROCEEDS OF THE CRIME, WHICHEVER AMOUNT  IS  GREATER,  IN
ADDITION TO THE VALUE OF ANY FORFEITED INSTRUMENTALITY.
  2.  IN THE EVENT OF A PENDING CRIMINAL ACTION IN WHICH A DEFENDANT HAS
ABSCONDED FROM THE JURISDICTION  OF  THE  COURT,  THE  COURT  MAY  ORDER
FORFEITURE  OF  ANY  SEIZED  OR  RESTRAINED  PROPERTY, REAL OR PERSONAL,
CONSTITUTING, OR DERIVED FROM,  PROCEEDS  OF  A  CRIME  AND  SUBSTITUTED
PROCEEDS  OF A CRIME AS THOSE TERMS ARE DEFINED IN SECTION 425.00 OF THE
CRIMINAL PROCEDURE LAW, AS WELL AS ANY SEIZED  OR  RESTRAINED  PROPERTY,
REAL  OR  PERSONAL,  WHICH  CONSTITUTES  AN  INSTRUMENTALITY OF A FELONY
CRIME, AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED IN SECTION 425.00 OF THE CRIMINAL  PROCE-
DURE  LAW.   THE COURT MAY DISALLOW A PERSON FROM USING THE RESOURCES OF
THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK IN FURTHERANCE OF  A  CLAIM  IN  ANY
RELATED  FORFEITURE  ACTION OR A CLAIM IN THIRD PARTY PROCEEDINGS IN ANY
RELATED CRIMINAL FORFEITURE ACTION UPON A FINDING THAT SUCH PERSON:
  (A) AFTER NOTICE OR KNOWLEDGE OF THE FACT THAT A  WARRANT  OR  PROCESS
HAS  BEEN ISSUED FOR HIS OR HER APPREHENSION, IN ORDER TO AVOID CRIMINAL
PROSECUTION:
  (I) PURPOSELY LEAVES THE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK;
  (II) DECLINES TO ENTER OR REENTER THE STATE OF NEW YORK TO  SUBMIT  TO
ITS JURISDICTION;
  (III) OTHERWISE EVADES THE JURISDICTION OF THE COURT IN WHICH A CRIMI-
NAL CASE IS PENDING AGAINST THE PERSON; AND
  (B)  IS  NOT CONFINED OR HELD IN CUSTODY IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION FOR
COMMISSION OF CRIMINAL CONDUCT IN THAT JURISDICTION.
  THIS SUBDIVISION MAY BE APPLIED TO A CLAIM FILED BY A  CORPORATION  IF
ANY MAJORITY SHAREHOLDER OR INDIVIDUAL FILING THE CLAIM ON BEHALF OF THE
CORPORATION IS A PERSON TO WHOM THIS SUBDIVISION APPLIES.
  3. ANY PROPERTY SUBJECT TO FORFEITURE UNDER THIS SECTION MAY BE SEIZED
BY  LAW ENFORCEMENT, EX PARTE AND UNDER SEAL, UPON A SHOWING OF PROBABLE
CAUSE TO BELIEVE THAT THE PROPERTY IS FORFEITABLE, EXCEPT THAT A SEIZURE
MAY BE MADE WITHOUT A WARRANT:
  (A) PURSUANT TO AN ORDER OF ATTACHMENT; OR
  (B) IF THERE IS PROBABLE CAUSE TO BELIEVE THAT THE PROPERTY IS SUBJECT
TO FORFEITURE; AND
  (I) THE SEIZURE IS MADE PURSUANT TO A LAWFUL ARREST OR SEARCH; OR
  (II) ANOTHER EXCEPTION TO THE FOURTH AMENDMENT WARRANT REQUIREMENT  OF
THE FEDERAL CONSTITUTION APPLIES.
  ANY  MOTION FOR THE RETURN OF PROPERTY SEIZED UNDER THIS SECTION SHALL
BE FILED IN THE COURT IN WHICH THE SEIZURE WARRANT WAS ISSUED.
  4. OTHER THAN AS PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION, THE  PROCEEDINGS  GOVERNING
FORFEITURE  OF PROPERTY, INCLUDING ANY SEIZURE AND DISPOSAL OF THE PROP-
ERTY UNDER THIS ARTICLE, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE PROVISIONS OF  SECTION
425.00 OF THE CRIMINAL PROCEDURE LAW.
  5.  NOTHING  IN  THIS  ARTICLE  SHALL  SUPERSEDE  LOCAL LAWS AFFECTING
FORFEITURE OR ANY SEIZURE OR FORFEITURE PROVISIONS OF THE TAX LAW.
  S 2. Subdivisions 2 and 5 of section 1310 of the  civil  practice  law
and  rules,  subdivisions 2 and 5 as added by chapter 669 of the laws of

  S 3. Paragraph (a) of subdivision 1 of section 1311 of the civil prac-
tice  law  and  rules,  as  added by chapter 669 of the laws of 1984, is
amended to read as follows:
  (a) Actions relating to post-conviction forfeiture crimes.  An  action
relating  to  a post-conviction forfeiture crime must be grounded upon a
conviction of a [felony] CRIME defined in subdivision  five  of  section

ity arising from a common scheme or plan of which such a conviction is a
part, or upon a count of an indictment or information OR IN SATISFACTION

SECTION 1.20 OF THE CRIMINAL PROCEDURE LAW  alleging  a  [felony]  CRIME
which  was  dismissed  at  the  time  of a plea of guilty to a felony OR
MISDEMEANOR in satisfaction of such count. A court may not grant forfei-
ture until such conviction has  occurred.  However,  an  action  may  be
commenced,  and  a  court  may grant a provisional remedy provided under
this article, prior to such conviction having occurred.  An action under
this paragraph must be dismissed at any time after  sixty  days  of  the
commencement  of  the action unless the conviction upon which the action
is grounded has occurred, or an [indictment or information]  APPROPRIATE
ACCUSATORY  INSTRUMENT  AS DEFINED IN SUBDIVISION ONE OF SECTION 1.20 OF
THE CRIMINAL PROCEDURE LAW upon which the asserted conviction is  to  be
based  is pending in a superior OR LOCAL CRIMINAL court. An action under
this paragraph shall be stayed during the pendency of a criminal  action
which  is  related  to  it;  provided, however, that such stay shall not
prevent the granting or continuance of any provisional  remedy  provided
under this article or any other provisions of law.
  S 4. Subdivision 6 of section 220.50 of the criminal procedure law, as
added by chapter 655 of the laws of 1990, is amended to read as follows:
  6.  Where  the  defendant consents to a plea of guilty to [the indict-
ment, or part of the indictment] AN APPROPRIATE ACCUSATORY INSTRUMENT AS
DEFINED IN SUBDIVISION ONE OF SECTION 1.20 OF THIS CHAPTER, or  consents
to  be  prosecuted by superior court information as set forth in section
195.20 of this chapter, and if the defendant and prosecutor  agree  that
as  a  condition  of  the plea or the superior court information certain
property shall be forfeited by the defendant, the description and  pres-
ent estimated monetary value of the property shall be stated in court by
the prosecutor at the time of [plea] DISPOSITION.  Within thirty days of

nal  justice  services  a document containing the name of the defendant,

ING UNLESS THE PEOPLE PROVIDE WRITTEN NOTICE OF THEIR INTENTION TO  SEEK
THE  FORFEITURE  OF  PROPERTY AS PART OF ANY SENTENCE IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE APPLICABLE STATUTE. THE NOTICE SHALL BE SERVED  UPON  THE  DEFENDANT
WITHIN FIFTEEN DAYS AFTER ARRAIGNMENT AND BEFORE TRIAL.  THE NOTICE NEED
NOT IDENTIFY THE PROPERTY SUBJECT TO FORFEITURE OR SPECIFY THE AMOUNT OF

S 425.10 FORFEITURE PROCEDURE AND DETERMINATIONS.
  1.  BURDEN  OF  PROOF.  IN A FORFEITURE ACTION UNDER THIS ARTICLE, THE
BURDEN SHALL BE UPON THE PEOPLE TO  PROVE  BY  A  PREPONDERANCE  OF  THE
EVIDENCE THE FACTS NECESSARY TO ESTABLISH A CLAIM FOR FORFEITURE.
  2.  EVIDENCE  AND  HEARING.  THE  FORFEITURE  DETERMINATION IS PART OF
SENTENCING, AND THE COURT'S  DETERMINATION  MAY  BE  BASED  ON  EVIDENCE
ALREADY  IN THE RECORD, INCLUDING ANY FACTS CONTAINED IN ANY PLEA AGREE-
MENT, AND ON ANY ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE OR  INFORMATION  SUBMITTED  BY  THE

S. 6255--B                         14                         A. 9055--B

PARTIES  AND ACCEPTED BY THE COURT AS RELEVANT AND RELIABLE. UPON APPLI-
CATION OF EITHER PARTY, THE COURT MUST CONDUCT A HEARING  IN  ACCORDANCE
WITH  THE PROVISIONS OF SUBDIVISION FOUR OF SECTION 710.60 OF THE CRIMI-
NAL PROCEDURE LAW AFTER THE CONVICTION.
  3. NON-JURY CASES. AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE AFTER A VERDICT OF GUILTY OF
A  CHARGE  SUBJECTING  PROPERTY  TO FORFEITURE, THE COURT MUST DETERMINE
WHAT PROPERTY IS SUBJECT TO FORFEITURE UNDER THIS  ARTICLE  AND  ARTICLE
SIXTY-TWO  OF THE PENAL LAW. THE COURT MUST DETERMINE WHETHER THE PEOPLE
HAVE PROVEN BY A PREPONDERANCE OF THE EVIDENCE THAT THE SPECIFIC PROPER-
TY IS THE PROCEEDS OF CRIME, SUBSTITUTED PROCEEDS  OF  A  CRIME,  OR  AN
INSTRUMENTALITY  OF  A FELONY CRIME, AS APPLICABLE, OR, WHERE THE PEOPLE
SEEK A PERSONAL MONEY JUDGMENT, THE COURT MUST DETERMINE THE  AMOUNT  OF
THE MONEY JUDGMENT.
  4.  JURY  CASES.  IN  ANY CASE TRIED BEFORE A JURY, IF THE PEOPLE HAVE
SERVED NOTICE OF THEIR INTENTION TO FORFEIT SPECIFIC PROPERTY, THE COURT
MUST DETERMINE BEFORE THE JURY BEGINS DELIBERATING WHETHER EITHER  PARTY
REQUESTS  THAT  THE  JURY BE RETAINED TO DETERMINE THE FORFEITABILITY OF
SPECIFIC PROPERTY SHOULD THE JURY RETURN A VERDICT OF GUILTY TO A CHARGE
SUBJECTING PROPERTY TO FORFEITURE. IF EITHER PARTY  TIMELY  REQUESTS  TO
HAVE  THE  JURY  DETERMINE FORFEITURE, THE PEOPLE MUST SUBMIT A PROPOSED
SPECIAL VERDICT FORM LISTING THE SPECIFIC PROPERTY SUBJECT TO FORFEITURE
AND ASKING THE JURY TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE PEOPLE  HAVE  PROVEN  BY  A
PREPONDERANCE  OF THE EVIDENCE THAT THE SPECIFIC PROPERTY IS PROCEEDS OF
CRIME, SUBSTITUTED PROCEEDS OF A CRIME, OR AN INSTRUMENTALITY OF A FELO-
NY CRIME, AS APPLICABLE. THE DETERMINATION OF THE AMOUNT OF  A  PERSONAL
MONEY  JUDGMENT  SHALL  BE MADE ONLY BY THE COURT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH

ING WHETHER A THIRD PARTY HAS SUCH AN INTEREST MUST  BE  DEFERRED  UNTIL
ANY  THIRD  PARTY  FILES A CLAIM UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF THIS ARTICLE OR
ARTICLE SIXTY-TWO OF THE PENAL LAW. THE FORFEITURE ORDER IS  PART  OF  A
DEFENDANT'S SENTENCE. EVEN WHERE A DEFENDANT HAS AGREED TO FORFEITURE OF
CERTAIN PROPERTY, THE COURT STILL MUST ISSUE A FORFEITURE ORDER.
  2.  SENTENCE  AND  JUDGMENT.  AT  SENTENCING  -- OR AT ANY TIME BEFORE
SENTENCING IF THE DEFENDANT CONSENTS --  THE  FORFEITURE  ORDER  BECOMES
FINAL AS TO THE DEFENDANT. IF THE ORDER DIRECTS THE DEFENDANT TO FORFEIT
SPECIFIC  PROPERTY,  THEN  THE  ORDER  REMAINS  PRELIMINARY  AS TO THIRD
PARTIES UNTIL ANY ANCILLARY PROCEEDING IS CONCLUDED UNDER  THIS  SECTION
IF  A  THIRD PARTY TIMELY FILES A CLAIM, AS SET FORTH IN SECTIONS 425.20
AND 425.25 OF THIS ARTICLE. IF NO THIRD PARTY TIMELY FILES A CLAIM UNDER
THIS SECTION, THE FORFEITURE ORDER BECOMES FINAL AS TO ALL PARTIES.
S 425.20 THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS.
  1. AN INNOCENT INTEREST IN PROPERTY SHALL NOT BE FORFEITED UNDER ARTI-
CLE SIXTY-TWO OF THE PENAL LAW. THE CLAIMANT SHALL HAVE  THE  BURDEN  OF
PROVING THAT THE CLAIMANT IS AN INNOCENT OWNER BY A PREPONDERANCE OF THE
EVIDENCE. ANY PERSON CLAIMING AN INTEREST IN PROPERTY SUBJECT TO FORFEI-
TURE  MAY  INSTITUTE  A SPECIAL PROCEEDING IN THE COURT BEFORE WHICH THE
CRIMINAL CASE IS PENDING TO DETERMINE THAT CLAIM, BEFORE  OR  AFTER  THE
TRIAL,  PURSUANT  TO  SECTION  1327 OF THE CIVIL PRACTICE LAW AND RULES;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT IF SUCH SPECIAL PROCEEDING IS  INITIATED  BEFORE
TRIAL, IT MAY, UPON WRITTEN MOTION OF THE PROSECUTOR, AND IN THE COURT'S

S. 6255--B                         15                         A. 9055--B

DISCRETION,  BE POSTPONED BY THE COURT UNTIL COMPLETION OF THE TRIAL. IN
ADDITION, ANY PERSON CLAIMING AN INTEREST IN PROPERTY SUBJECT TO FORFEI-
TURE MAY PETITION THE COURT PURSUANT TO SECTION 1311 OF THE CIVIL  PRAC-
TICE LAW AND RULES.

ILLEGAL CONDUCT GIVING RISE TO FORFEITURE TOOK PLACE, THE TERM "INNOCENT
OWNER" MEANS AN OWNER WHO DID NOT KNOW OF THE  CONDUCT  GIVING  RISE  TO
FORFEITURE;  OR  UPON LEARNING OF THE CONDUCT GIVING RISE TO THE FORFEI-
TURE, DID ALL THAT REASONABLY COULD BE EXPECTED UNDER THE  CIRCUMSTANCES
TO TERMINATE SUCH CRIMINAL USE OF THE PROPERTY.
  3.  FOR  THE PURPOSES OF THIS SECTION, WAYS IN WHICH A PERSON MAY SHOW
THAT HE DID ALL THAT REASONABLY COULD  BE  EXPECTED  UNDER  THE  CIRCUM-
STANCES  TO  TERMINATE  THE  CRIMINAL USE OF PROPERTY MAY INCLUDE DEMON-
STRATING THAT HE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:
  A. GAVE TIMELY NOTICE TO A LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY OF INFORMATION  THAT
LED  HIM  TO KNOW THE CONDUCT GIVING RISE TO A FORFEITURE WOULD OCCUR OR
HAS OCCURRED; OR
  B. IN A TIMELY FASHION, REVOKED OR MADE A GOOD FAITH ATTEMPT TO REVOKE
PERMISSION FOR THOSE ENGAGING IN SUCH CONDUCT TO USE THE PROPERTY; OR
  C. TOOK REASONABLE ACTIONS IN  CONSULTATION  WITH  A  LAW  ENFORCEMENT
AGENCY TO DISCOURAGE OR PREVENT THE ILLEGAL USE OF THE PROPERTY.
  A PERSON IS NOT REQUIRED BY THIS SECTION TO TAKE STEPS THAT THE PERSON
REASONABLY  BELIEVES  WOULD  BE LIKELY TO SUBJECT ANY PERSON, OTHER THAN
THE PERSON WHOSE CONDUCT  GAVE  RISE  TO  THE  FORFEITURE,  TO  PHYSICAL
DANGER.
  4.  WITH  RESPECT  TO  A  PROPERTY INTEREST ACQUIRED AFTER THE CONDUCT
GIVING RISE TO THE FORFEITURE HAS TAKEN PLACE, THE TERM "INNOCENT OWNER"
MEANS A PERSON WHO, AT THE TIME THAT PERSON ACQUIRED THE INTEREST IN THE
PROPERTY WAS A BONA FIDE PURCHASER OR  SELLER  FOR  VALUE,  INCLUDING  A
PURCHASER OR SELLER OF GOODS OR SERVICES FOR VALUE, DID NOT KNOW AND WAS
REASONABLY  WITHOUT  CAUSE  TO  BELIEVE THAT THE PROPERTY WAS SUBJECT TO
FORFEITURE.
  AN OTHERWISE VALID CLAIM UNDER THIS SECTION SHALL NOT BE DENIED ON THE
GROUND THAT THE CLAIMANT GAVE NOTHING OF VALUE IN EXCHANGE FOR THE PROP-
ERTY IF:
  A. THE PROPERTY IS THE PRIMARY RESIDENCE OF THE CLAIMANT; OR
  B. DEPRIVING THE CLAIMANT OF THE PROPERTY WOULD DEPRIVE  THE  CLAIMANT
OF  THE  MEANS  TO  MAINTAIN REASONABLE SHELTER IN THE COMMUNITY FOR THE
CLAIMANT AND ALL DEPENDENTS RESIDING WITH THE CLAIMANT; OR
  C. THE PROPERTY IS NOT, AND IS NOT TRACEABLE TO, THE PROCEEDS  OF  ANY
CRIMINAL OFFENSE; OR
  D.  THE  CLAIMANT ACQUIRED HIS OR HER INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY THROUGH
MARRIAGE, DIVORCE, OR LEGAL SEPARATION; OR
  E. THE CLAIMANT WAS THE SPOUSE OR LEGAL DEPENDENT OF  A  PERSON  WHOSE
DEATH  RESULTED  IN THE TRANSFER OF THE PROPERTY TO THE CLAIMANT THROUGH
INHERITANCE OR PROBATE.
  PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE COURT SHALL LIMIT THE VALUE  OF  ANY  REAL
PROPERTY  INTEREST FOR WHICH INNOCENT OWNERSHIP IS RECOGNIZED UNDER THIS
SUBDIVISION TO THE VALUE NECESSARY TO MAINTAIN REASONABLE SHELTER IN THE
COMMUNITY FOR SUCH CLAIMANT AND ALL DEPENDENTS RESIDING WITH THE  CLAIM-
ANT.
  5. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION OF THIS SECTION, NO PERSON MAY ASSERT
AN OWNERSHIP INTEREST UNDER THIS SECTION IN CONTRABAND OR OTHER PROPERTY
THAT IT IS ILLEGAL TO POSSESS.
  6.  IF  THE COURT DETERMINES, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS SECTION, THAT AN
INNOCENT OWNER HAS A PARTIAL INTEREST IN PROPERTY OTHERWISE  SUBJECT  TO

S. 6255--B                         16                         A. 9055--B

FORFEITURE,  OR A JOINT TENANCY OR TENANCY BY THE ENTIRETY IN SUCH PROP-
ERTY, THE COURT MAY ENTER AN APPROPRIATE ORDER  SEVERING  THE  PROPERTY;
TRANSFERRING THE PROPERTY TO THE PEOPLE WITH A PROVISION THAT THE PEOPLE
COMPENSATE  THE    INNOCENT  OWNER TO THE EXTENT OF HIS OR HER OWNERSHIP
INTEREST ONCE A FINAL ORDER OF FORFEITURE HAS BEEN ENTERED AND THE PROP-
ERTY HAS BEEN REDUCED TO LIQUID ASSETS; OR PERMITTING THE INNOCENT OWNER
TO RETAIN THE PROPERTY SUBJECT TO A LIEN IN FAVOR OF THE PEOPLE  TO  THE
EXTENT OF THE FORFEITABLE INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY.
  7.  FOR  THE PURPOSES OF THIS SECTION, THE TERM "OWNER" MEANS A PERSON
WITH AN OWNERSHIP  INTEREST  IN  THE  SPECIFIC  PROPERTY  SOUGHT  TO  BE
FORFEITED,  INCLUDING,  BUT NOT LIMITED TO, A LEASEHOLD, LIEN, MORTGAGE,
RECORDED SECURITY INTEREST, OR VALID ASSIGNMENT OF AN  OWNERSHIP  INTER-
EST. IT DOES NOT INCLUDE A PERSON WITH ONLY A GENERAL UNSECURED INTEREST
IN, OR CLAIM AGAINST, THE PROPERTY OR ESTATE OF ANOTHER; A BAILEE UNLESS
THE  BAILOR  IS  IDENTIFIED  AND THE BAILEE SHOWS A COLORABLE LEGITIMATE
INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY SEIZED; OR A NOMINEE WHO EXERCISES NO  DOMINION
OR CONTROL OVER THE PROPERTY.
  8.  THIRD-PARTY  TRANSFERS. ALL RIGHT, TITLE, AND INTEREST IN PROPERTY
DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION VESTS IN THE PEOPLE UPON THE COMMISSION OF THE
ACT GIVING RISE TO FORFEITURE UNDER THIS SECTION. ANY SUCH PROPERTY THAT
IS SUBSEQUENTLY TRANSFERRED TO A PERSON OTHER THAN THE DEFENDANT MAY  BE
THE  SUBJECT  OF A SPECIAL VERDICT OF FORFEITURE AND THEREAFTER SHALL BE
ORDERED FORFEITED, UNLESS THE TRANSFEREE ESTABLISHES IN A HEARING PURSU-
ANT TO THIS SECTION THAT HE IS A BONA FIDE PURCHASER FOR VALUE  OF  SUCH
PROPERTY  WHO  AT  THE  TIME OF PURCHASE WAS REASONABLY WITHOUT CAUSE TO
BELIEVE THAT THE PROPERTY WAS SUBJECT TO FORFEITURE UNDER THIS SECTION.
S 425.25 STAY PENDING APPEAL.
  IF A DEFENDANT APPEALS FROM A CONVICTION OR AN  ORDER  OF  FORFEITURE,
THE  COURT  MAY  STAY  THE  ORDER  OF FORFEITURE ON TERMS APPROPRIATE TO
ENSURE THAT THE PROPERTY REMAINS AVAILABLE PENDING APPELLATE  REVIEW.  A
STAY  DOES  NOT DELAY THE ANCILLARY PROCEEDING OR THE DETERMINATION OF A
THIRD PARTY'S RIGHTS OR INTERESTS. IF THE COURT RULES IN  FAVOR  OF  ANY
THIRD PARTY WHILE AN APPEAL IS PENDING, THE COURT MAY AMEND THE ORDER OF
FORFEITURE  BUT MUST NOT TRANSFER ANY PROPERTY INTEREST TO A THIRD PARTY
UNTIL THE  DECISION  ON  APPEAL  BECOMES  FINAL,  UNLESS  THE  DEFENDANT
CONSENTS IN WRITING OR ON THE RECORD.
S 425.30 SEIZED AND FORFEITED PROPERTY.
  1.  SEIZING PROPERTY. THE ENTRY OF AN ORDER OF FORFEITURE AUTHORIZES A
PROSECUTOR OR A DESIGNEE TO  SEIZE  THE  SPECIFIC  PROPERTY  SUBJECT  TO
FORFEITURE  AND  TO  COMMENCE  PROCEEDINGS THAT COMPLY WITH ANY STATUTES
GOVERNING THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS. THE COURT MAY  INCLUDE  IN  THE  ORDER  OF
THOSE FORFEITURE CONDITIONS REASONABLY NECESSARY TO PRESERVE THE PROPER-
TY'S VALUE PENDING ANY APPEAL.
  2.  DISTRIBUTION  AND  PRESUMPTIONS.  THE DISTRIBUTION OF ANY PROPERTY
FORFEITED UNDER THIS ARTICLE AND ANY REBUTTABLE  PRESUMPTIONS  SHALL  BE
TREATED  IN  THE  SAME  MANNER  AS  A  FORFEITURE  BROUGHT  UNDER BY THE
PROVISIONS OF ARTICLE THIRTEEN-A OF THE CIVIL PRACTICE LAW AND RULES.
  3. REAL PROPERTY SEIZURES. AT NO TIME  UNDER  ANY  PROVISION  OF  THIS
SECTION  OR  ARTICLE  SIXTY-TWO  OF  THE  PENAL LAW MAY REAL PROPERTY BE
SEIZED PRIOR TO THE ENTRY OF A FORFEITURE ORDER THAT ORDERS THE  FORFEI-
TURE OF THAT REAL PROPERTY.
S 425.35 ATTORNEY'S PAYMENTS.
  1.  PROPERTY  ACQUIRED IN GOOD FAITH BY AN ATTORNEY AS PAYMENT FOR THE
REASONABLE AND BONA FIDE FEES OF LEGAL SERVICES OR AS REIMBURSEMENT  FOR
REASONABLE  AND  BONA  FIDE  EXPENSES RELATED TO THE REPRESENTATION OF A
DEFENDANT IN CONNECTION WITH A CIVIL OR CRIMINAL  FORFEITURE  PROCEEDING

S. 6255--B                         17                         A. 9055--B

OR A RELATED CRIMINAL MATTER, SHALL BE EXEMPT FROM A JUDGMENT OF FORFEI-
TURE.  HOWEVER, PROPERTY SEIZED OR RESTRAINED UNDER ARTICLE SIXTY-TWO OF
THE PENAL LAW MAY NOT BE RELEASED FOR THE PAYMENT OF ATTORNEY'S FEES.
S 425.40 PRESERVATION OF OTHER RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.

  FISCAL NOTE.--Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50:
  This  bill  would  amend  various  sections  of the Education Law, the
Retirement and Social Security Law, and the Administrative Code  of  the
City  of  New York to implement a new retirement benefit structure (Tier
6) for members who first join a public retirement system of the state or
New York City on or after April  1,  2012.  Tier  6  would  provide  two
different plan options - a defined benefit plan (DB Plan) similar to the
benefit  plan  for  members of earlier Tiers, and a defined contribution
plan (DC Plan) in which  separate  accounts  are  established  for  each
member  similar  to a 401(k) plan. A Tier 6 member desiring to elect the
DC Plan must do so within the first 30 days  of  service.  The  member's
election  is  irrevocable.  The  remainder  of this fiscal note provides
descriptions and costs with respect to  the  New  York  State  Teachers'
Retirement System.
  Plan Benefits:
  DB  PLAN:  Members  would be eligible for a retirement benefit payable
monthly for life upon retirement. Eligibility for a  service  retirement
benefit  would  require  the  rendering  of a minimum of twelve years of
credited service and attainment of age 65. Members would not be  permit-
ted  to  receive  a  service  or  vested retirement benefit prior to the
attainment of age 65. The service retirement benefit formula  for  years
of  service  up  to  30  would be equal to one-sixtieth of final average
salary times years of service. Years of service above 30  would  have  a
benefit  multiplier of 1.5%. Final average salary would be determined as
the average of the highest five consecutive years of salary. Salary in a
given year in excess of eight percent  over  the  average  of  the  four
previous  years  would  not  be  included in the final average salary. A
death benefit of up to three times salary is provided upon the death  of
a  member  in  service.  A disability benefit is provided to members who
become disabled while in service. Members who withdraw  before  becoming
vested receive a refund of their employee contributions, and accumulated
interest of 5% per year.
  DC  PLAN:  Members would have individual accounts, similar to a 401(k)
plan, and at retirement  would  receive  whatever  amount  is  in  their
account. Accounts would consist of the sum of contributions made and any
investment  income  earned.  No specific benefit amount at retirement is

S. 6255--B                         69                         A. 9055--B

promised. Members would receive a basic annual contribution of 4% of pay
from employers. Employers would also contribute up to an  additional  3%
of  pay as a matching contribution to an employee's own contribution, if
the employee contributed. A death benefit of up to three times salary is
provided upon the death of a member in service. No disability benefit is
provided.  No  employer  contribution  is  required to be made until the
participant has been a member of the Retirement System for one full plan
year. All employer contributions are immediately and fully  vested  when
made.
  Plan Costs - Employee:
  DB PLAN: Members in the DB Plan shall be required to contribute either
4%,  5%,  or  6%  of  salary annually depending on their salary level as
follows - members whose  wages  are  equal  to  $35,000  or  less  shall
contribute  4%,  members  with  wages  between $35,001 and $69,000 shall
contribute 5%, and members with wages above $69,000 shall contribute 6%.
  If the required employer contribution rate (ECR) associated with  Tier
6  members exceeds 7%, employees will be required to contribute an addi-
tional amount equal to one-half of the difference between  the  ECR  and
7%.  Conversely  if  the ECR associated with Tier 6 members is less than
4%, the employee contribution rate will be reduced by an amount equal to
one-half of the difference between 4% and the ECR.
  DC PLAN: Members in the DC Plan are not required to make any  employee
contribution.  Members  may  opt to make employee contributions to their
accounts up to the maximum amount permitted by federal law.
  Plan Costs - Employer:
  DB PLAN: The employer contribution rate (ECR) is  determined  annually
by  actuarial  valuation, and represents the amount required to maintain
appropriate actuarial funding. The long-term expected actuarially-deter-
mined ECR for the proposed Tier 6 benefit structure is 3.8% of pay. This
rate includes the cost of the death benefit, and the cost of the  plan's
administrative  expenses.  The actual ECR in a given year will be higher
or lower than this amount, depending on plan experience,  in  particular
the  plan's  investment experience. In accordance with current actuarial
assumptions however the expected employer contribution rate is  3.8%  of
pay.
  If  the plan's ECR associated with Tier 6 exceeds 7%, then the employ-
ees must share in the cost of this excess, and similarly if the  ECR  is
below 4%, the employees benefit from this reduction, as described in the
"Plan Costs - Employee" section above. For example, if the Tier 6 ECR in
a  given  year is 9%, then employers will pay 8%, and employees an addi-
tional 1%. Conversely if the Tier 6 ECR is 2%, then employers  will  pay
3%,  and  employees  will have a 1% reduction in their required employee
contribution rate.
  DC PLAN: Employers are required to contribute a basic annual  contrib-
ution  rate of 4% of pay. In addition, employers are required to provide
a matching contribution on employee contributions of up to an additional
3% of pay. Therefore employers will need to budget a 7%  of  pay  annual
expense  as  they will not know in advance which employees will elect to
contribute and how much. Additionally employers will need to  contribute
an  annual  amount, as determined by the Retirement System, to cover the
cost of the death benefit provided under the plan, as well as an  amount
to  cover  the  cost  of  administering the plan. Although the specifics
regarding these last two items are as yet unknown, it is  roughly  esti-
mated that an additional 1% employer contribution should be anticipated.
All together this brings the expected ECR for the DC Plan to 8% of pay.

S. 6255--B                         70                         A. 9055--B

  Additionally it is expected that there would be a significant start-up
cost  for  a state-wide DC plan of this type. Although no specific esti-
mate of this start-up cost has as yet been determined,  it  is  expected
that it would be in the millions of dollars.
  Administrative Concerns/Costs:
  The Retirement System does not currently have a DC Plan platform which
can  be  adapted  to  this  proposal. Tier 6 would therefore represent a
significant expansion of administrative  responsibilities  and  workload
for  the  Retirement  System.  Although  the bill permits NYSTRS to hire
outside vendors as needed, these vendors  would  need  to  be  carefully
identified  and  selected. It is highly unlikely that a DC Plan could be
established and functioning by the bill's effective  date  of  April  1,
2012.
  The DB Plan can in almost all respects be administered programmatical-
ly,  although additional computer programming and additional administra-
tive procedures will be required. The graded employee contribution  rate
schedule  (4%/5%/6%)  in the Tier 6 DB Plan would represent considerable
ongoing administrative difficulties however. Required employee  contrib-
utions  are withheld by employers from employee paychecks throughout the
year, which requires that employers know the correct  employee  contrib-
ution rate percentage in advance. Under this bill the correct percentage
may  not  be known until after the last paycheck of the year. Wages paid
during the plan year would have to be reviewed after the end of the plan
year on a member by member basis, and overpayments or  underpayments  of
member contributions addressed accordingly.
  Background/Additional Information:
  The current required employer contribution rate for the New York State
Teachers'  Retirement  System  is  11.11% of pay, applicable to 7/1/11 -
6/30/12 member salaries and to be collected in the fall  of  2012.  This
rate  is  estimated  to increase to 11.84% for the 7/1/12-6/30/13 fiscal
year. This rate is applicable to the salaries of all members, regardless
of tier. Even if no additional members joined the defined  benefit  plan
after  April  1,  2012,  the  annual  cost  of this plan for the current
430,000 members and retirees that participate in  it  would  go  on  for
several decades.
  Our "new entrant rate", a hypothetical employer contribution rate that
would occur if we started a new Retirement System without any assets, is
equal to 10.9% of pay under the Tier 4 benefit structure and 7.9% of pay
under  the  Tier  5 benefit structure, in accordance with the Retirement
System's current actuarial assumptions. This can be thought  of  as  the
long-term expected cost of the benefit structure, based on current actu-
arial  assumptions. For the proposed Tier 6 DB Plan benefit option, this
new entrant rate would be equal to 3.8% of pay.
  The source of this estimate is Revised Fiscal Note 2012-8 dated Febru-
ary 2, 2012 prepared by the Actuary of  the  New  York  State  Teachers'
Retirement  System and is intended for use only during the 2012 Legisla-
tive Session. I, Richard A. Young, am the Actuary for the New York State
Teachers' Retirement System. I am a member of the  American  Academy  of
Actuaries and I meet the Qualification Standards of the American Academy
of Actuaries to render the actuarial opinion contained herein.
  FISCAL NOTE.--Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50:
  This  bill  would require new members who first join public retirement
systems in New York State on or after April 1, 2012  to  become  covered
under  the  provisions  of  a  new defined benefit plan or a new defined
contribution plan.

S. 6255--B                         71                         A. 9055--B

  The proposal does not  appear  to  provide  sufficient  time  for  the
provisions to be implemented by April 1, 2012.
  Insofar as this bill would affect the New York State and Local Employ-
ees  Retirement  System  (ERS),  the  significant  design changes to the
defined benefit plan include:
  1. Employee contributions of X+Y% of pay for  all  years  of  service,
except  members  enrolled in a plan that limits the amount of creditable
service that may be accrued would not be required  to  contribute  after
accruing the maximum amount of creditable service under such plan,
  where X is determined as follows:
        if the annual pay rate is $32,000 or less then X = 4.0%
        if the annual pay rate is $32,001 to $63,000 then X = 5.0%
        if the annual pay rate is $63,001 or more then X = 6.0%
  and Y is determined as follows:
        if  the  individual's plan has a TOTAL contribution rate (T) for
        the fiscal year that is greater than 7%, then Y = (T - 7%)/2
        if the individual's plan has a TOTAL contribution rate  (T)  for
        the fiscal year that is less than 4%, then Y = (T - 4%)/2
        otherwise Y = 0%
  2. The service retirement benefit would be one-sixtieth (1.67%) of FAS
for  the  first 30 years of creditable service, and three-two hundredths
(1.50%) of FAS in excess of 30 years,
  3. Members in regular plans (where retirement eligibility requires the
attainment of a certain age as well as the  accumulation  of  a  certain
amount  of  service credit) must attain age 65 before they may receive a
service retirement benefit,
  4. Final average salary (FAS) would be based on a 5 year average, with
no year's salary permitted to exceed 8% of the average of the previous 4
year's salary,
  5. Annual overtime paid at a rate greater than the  standard  rate  of
pay  would  not be included in the definition of wages and final average
salary,
  6. Reportable salary (for a fiscal year) may not exceed the salary  of
the  Governor of the state of New York, which currently is set in law to
be $179,000 (the reportable salary  would  change  when  the  Governor's
salary does),
  7.  Lump  sum vacation pay, any form of termination pay and additional
compensation paid in anticipation  of  retirement  would  no  longer  be
included in a member's final average salary,
  8. Service credit for unused sick leave time would no longer be grant-
ed,
  9. Twelve year vesting.
  If this bill is enacted, NYSLRS would calculate new plan rates for all
ERS  members  who  first  enter on or after April 1, 2012. The long term
expected annual  employer  normal  contribution  rate  for  new  general
members  would  be approximately 4.0% of payroll. The long term expected
annual  employer  TOTAL  contribution  rate  for  new  general   members
(includes  Group  Term Life Insurance and the administrative rate) would
be approximately 4.7% of payroll.
  For fiscal year 2013, the TOTAL  contribution  rate  for  new  general
members (includes Group Term Life Insurance and the administrative rate)
would  be  approximately  7.3%  of  payroll (7.15% employer share, 0.15%
employee share added to 4%, 5%, or 6%). The FY2013 contributions  assume
that  the  new tier will be added to the existing ERS plan, and does not
become its own, independent plan.

  For ERS members in retirement  plans  that  allow  retirement  without
regard  to  age,  the long term expected and FY 2013 contributions would
vary by plan with a representative set of the larger plans given in  the
table below (with the general plan for tiers 5 and 6 included for refer-
ence):

                  Long Term Expected
                     Contribution            FY 2013 Contribution

                          or 6.00%                    or 6.15%
Non-State COs   6.5%      4.00%, 5.00%  8.70%         5.70%, 6.70%
                          or 6.00%                    or 7.70%
State COs       7.9%      4.90%, 5.90%  10.50%        7.50%, 8.50%
                          or 6.90%                    or 9.50%
Sheriffs (553)  9.7%      6.70%, 7.70%  13.45%        10.45%, 11.45%
                          or 8.70%                    or 12.45%

*This  is  the total employee contribution rate, including that which is
based upon pay.

  Insofar as this bill would affect the New York State and Local  Police
and Fire Retirement System (PFRS), the significant design changes to the
defined benefit plan include:
  1.  Employee  contributions  of  X+Y% of pay for all years of service,
except members enrolled in a plan that limits the amount  of  creditable
service  that  may  be accrued would not be required to contribute after
accruing the maximum amount of creditable service under such plan,

where X is determined as follows:
             if the annual pay rate is $66,000 or less then X = 4.0%
             if the annual pay rate is $66,001 to $132,000 then X = 5.0%
             if the annual pay rate is $132,001 or more then X = 6.0%

and Y is determined as follows:
             if the plan's TOTAL contribution rate (T)  for  the  fiscal
                     year is greater than 14% then Y = (T - 14%)/2
             if  the  plan's  TOTAL contribution rate (T) for the fiscal
                     year is less than 10% then Y = (T - 10%)/2
             otherwise Y = 0%

  2. Final average salary (FAS) would be based on a 5 year average, with
no year's salary permitted to exceed 8% of the average of the previous 4
year's salary,
  3. Annual overtime paid at a rate grater than the standard rate of pay
would not be included in the definition of wages and final average sala-
ry,
  4. Reportable salary (for a fiscal year) may not exceed the salary  of
the  Governor of the state of New York, which currently is set in law to
be $179,000 (the reportable salary  would  change  when  the  Governor's
salary does),
  5.  Any  form  of  termination pay and additional compensation paid in
anticipation of retirement would no longer be  included  in  a  member's
final average salary,

  6. Members in regular plans (where retirement eligibility requires the
attainment  of  a  certain  age as well as the accumulation of a certain
amount of service credit) must attain age 65 before they may  receive  a
service retirement benefit,
  7. Twelve year vesting.
  If this bill is enacted, NYSLRS would calculate new plan rates for all
PFRS members who first enter on or after April 1, 2012. For PFRS members
in  retirement  plans  that  allow retirement without regard to age, the
long term expected and FY 2013 contributions would vary by plan  with  a
representative  set  of  the larger plans given in the  table below. The
FY2013 contributions assume that the new  tier  will  be  added  to  the
existing PFRS plan, and does not become its own, independent plan.

*This  is  the total employee contribution rate, including that which is
based upon pay.

  There would also  be  additional  administrative  expenses  to  inform
employers and new members of the new plan provisions and to modify auto-
mate  systems.   Employee contributions  would now be a function of base
salary, retirement plan and options, and fiscal  year,  instead  of  one
fixed  rate.  To  implement these employee contribution rate changes the
modification of NYSLRS automated systems would be  substantial  with  an
associated implementation expense estimated at $3 to 5 million. The more
complicated  system  would  be  more challenging to maintain, apply, and
explain, resulting in estimated annual ongoing expenses in the  millions
of  dollars. The state and each of the approximately 3,000 participating
employers would have to modify their methods  for  withholding  employee
contributions,  which  could also lead to total expenses in the millions
of dollars. Further, it seems extremely unlikely that such changes could
be implemented by April 1, 2012. Lastly, the bill contains no  appropri-
ation  to  support the additional payroll administrative expenses to the
Office of the  State  Comptroller  or  the  implementation  and  ongoing
expenses of NYSLRS related to the new tier.
  This  bill  would provide new members who first join public retirement
systems in New York State on or after April 1, 2012 the option to become
covered under the provisions of a new defined contribution plan in  lieu
of the defined benefit plan.
  The  significant  design  features  of  the  defined contribution plan
include:
  1. Mandatory employer contributions of 4% of wages.
  2. Matching employer contributions  for  voluntary  employee  contrib-
utions of up to 3% of wages.

S. 6255--B                         74                         A. 9055--B

  3. Employee and employer contributions are subject to limits in Feder-
al Law.
  4. A death benefit equal to
       -the member's salary after completion of one year of service,
       -two year's salary after completion of two year's service, and
       -three year's salary after completion of three year's service,

       reduced by the employer contributions already made to the employ-
ee's defined contribution account.
  5. There is no disability benefit.

  6.  Members may not opt out of the defined contribution plan once they
have opted in.
  7. The defined contribution plan is to be administered by the New York
State and Local Retirement System, which may enter into agreements  with
qualified providers for investment of member accounts and general admin-
istration of the plan.
  Assuming that employees contribute 3% or more to maximize the employer
match,  the  long  term expected total annual employer contribution rate
for all members who choose the defined contribution plan  (includes  the
death benefit and the ongoing administrative rate) would be approximate-
ly 7.7% of payroll.
  There  would  also  be  additional  NYSLRS  administrative expenses to
establish the new defined contribution plan. Such expenses would include
legal costs to draft and submit plan documents for review by the  Inter-
nal  Revenue  Service,  drafting  and  promulgating such rules and regu-
lations as may  be  necessary  or  required  to  implement  the  defined
contribution  program,  entering  into general agreements with qualified
providers for the investment of member  accounts  and  general  adminis-
tration of the plan, informing employers and new members of the new plan
provisions,  and establishing the DC death benefit.  These establishment
expenses are currently estimated at $3 to 10 million.
  Additionally, the state and participating employers will  incur  costs
to  modify  their  payroll  systems  and  procedures in order to collect
employee contributions and remit  them  along  with  mandatory  employer
contributions shortly after each payroll. Such costs are estimated to be
$1  million  for  changes  to  the  state  payroll system related to the
defined benefit and defined contribution plans. Remittance  of  employer
contributions  on  a  payroll  schedule,  rather than annually under the
defined benefit plan, will affect employers' cash  management.  It  also
seems  extremely unlikely that such a plan could be implemented by April
1, 2012. Further, the bill contains  no  appropriation  to  support  the
additional  payroll  administrative  expense  to the Office of the State
Comptroller or the implementation and ongoing expenses of NYSLRS related
to the new plan.
  In addition, employees will incur management and  investment  expenses
for their defined contribution accounts estimated to average 0.5% of the
account balance annually.

  Section 1. Section 167-a of  the  civil  service  law,  as  separately
amended  by section 8 of part T and section 1 of part U of chapter 56 of
the laws of 2010, is amended to read as follows:
  S 167-a. Reimbursement for medicare premium  charges.  Upon  exclusion
from  the  coverage  of the health benefit plan of supplementary medical
insurance benefits for which an active or retired employee or a  depend-
ent covered by the health benefit plan is or would be eligible under the
federal  old-age,  survivors and disability insurance program, an amount
equal to the premium charge for  such  supplementary  medical  insurance
benefits  for such active or retired employee and his or her dependents,
if any, shall be paid monthly or at other intervals to  such  active  or
retired employee from the health insurance fund. Where appropriate, such
amount  may  be  deducted  from contributions payable by the employee or
retired employee; or where appropriate in the case of a retired employee
receiving a retirement allowance,  such  amount  may  be  included  with
payments of his or her retirement allowance. All state employer, employ-
ee, retired employee and dependent contributions to the health insurance
fund,  INCLUDING  CONTRIBUTIONS  FROM PUBLIC AUTHORITIES, PUBLIC BENEFIT
CORPORATIONS OR OTHER QUASI-PUBLIC ORGANIZATIONS OF THE STATE, shall  be
adjusted  as necessary to cover the cost of reimbursing federal old-age,
survivors and disability insurance program premium  charges  under  this
section.  This  cost  shall be included in the calculation of premium or
subscription charges for health coverage provided to  [state]  employees
and  retired  [state] employees OF THE STATE, PUBLIC AUTHORITIES, PUBLIC
BENEFIT CORPORATIONS OR OTHER QUASI-PUBLIC ORGANIZATIONS OF  THE  STATE;
provided,  however, the state, PUBLIC AUTHORITIES, PUBLIC BENEFIT CORPO-
RATIONS OR OTHER QUASI-PUBLIC ORGANIZATIONS OF THE  STATE  shall  remain
obligated  to pay no less than its share of such increased cost consist-
ent with its share of premium or subscription charges  provided  for  by
this  article.  All other employer contributions to the health insurance
fund shall be adjusted as necessary to provide for such payments.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately and  shall  be  deemed  to
have been in full force and effect on and after April 1, 2012.

Except  where  otherwise  provided by law, procurements shall be compet-
itive, and state agencies shall conduct formal competitive  procurements
to  the  maximum  extent  practicable. State agencies shall document the
determination of the method of procurement and the basis of award in the
procurement record. Where the basis for award is the best  value  offer,
the  state  agency  shall  document,  in  the  procurement record and in
advance of the initial receipt of offers, the determination of the eval-
uation criteria, which whenever possible, shall be quantifiable, and the
process to be used in the determination of best value and the manner  in
which the evaluation process and selection shall be conducted.

  2. Except where the state  civil  service  department  or  appropriate

SUCCESSFUL  CANDIDATES RESULTING FROM AN OPEN PROMOTION EXAMINATION HELD
PURSUANT TO SUBDIVISION FOUR OF SECTION FIFTY-ONE OF THIS  ARTICLE.  THE
PROMOTION  ELIGIBLE  LIST  SHALL  BE  ESTABLISHED IN THE SAME MANNER AND
SUBJECT TO THE SAME CONDITIONS AS WOULD OTHERWISE APPLY IF SUCH EXAMINA-
TION HAD BEEN A PROMOTION EXAMINATION; THE  RATINGS  AND  RANKS  OF  THE
CANDIDATES SHALL BE REVISED BY INCLUDING CREDIT FOR SENIORITY AND APPLY-
ING ADDITIONAL CREDITS FOR DISABLED AND NON-DISABLED VETERANS APPLICABLE
TO  PROMOTION  EXAMINATIONS.  THE  OPEN  COMPETITIVE LIST SHALL RANK ALL
SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATES IN THE ORDER OF THEIR FINAL RATINGS;  THE  RATINGS
AND  RANKS  OF  THE  CANDIDATES SHALL BE REVISED BY INCLUDING ADDITIONAL
CREDITS FOR DISABLED AND NON-DISABLED VETERANS  APPLICABLE  TO  EXAMINA-
TIONS  FOR  ORIGINAL  APPOINTMENT.  AN APPOINTING OFFICER MAY USE EITHER

  S 4. Subdivision 4 of section 52 of the civil service law, as added by
chapter 790 of the laws of 1958, is amended to read as follows:
  4. Departmental and interdepartmental promotion lists. The state civil
service department and municipal commissions may establish  interdepart-
mental  promotion  ELIGIBLE  lists  which  shall  not  be certified to a
department until after the promotion eligible list for  that  department
has  been  exhausted, EXCEPT THAT WHERE IT WOULD BE IN THE BEST INTEREST
OF THE STATE SERVICE, THE STATE CIVIL SERVICE DEPARTMENT MAY CERTIFY  AN
INTERDEPARTMENTAL  PROMOTION  ELIGIBLE  LIST  AND DEPARTMENTAL PROMOTION
ELIGIBLE LIST FOR FILLING POSITIONS WITHOUT PREFERENCE  TO  THE  DEPART-
MENTAL PROMOTION ELIGIBLE LIST.
  S 5. Subdivision 11 of section 52 of the civil service law, as amended
by chapter 214 of the laws of 1989, is amended to read as follows:
  11.  Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the state [department
of] civil service DEPARTMENT may, for titles designated by it, extend to
employees in the state service who are holding or who have held a  posi-
tion  in  the  non-competitive  or  labor class of such service the same
opportunity as employees in the  competitive  class  to  take  promotion
examinations  [if  such  examinations are to be held in conjunction with
open competitive examinations].
  S 6. Subdivision 6 of section 52 of the civil service law, as added by
chapter 790 of the laws of 1958, paragraph (a) as amended by chapter 210
of the laws of 1971 and paragraph (b) as separately amended by  chapters
836 and 837 of the laws of 1968, is amended to read as follows:

S. 6255--B                         92                         A. 9055--B

  6.  Promotion  and  transfer  to administrative positions in the state
service. (a) For the purpose of this subdivision, the term  "administra-
tive positions" shall include competitive class OR NON-COMPETITIVE CLASS
positions in the state service in law, personnel, budgeting, methods and
procedures,  management,  records analysis, and administrative research,
as determined by the state civil service department.
  (b) Except as provided in section fifty-one OF THIS ARTICLE, vacancies
in administrative positions IN THE COMPETITIVE CLASS shall be filled, so
far as practicable, by promotion as prescribed  in  subdivision  one  of
this  section,  which may be made from among persons holding administra-
tive positions in lower grades without  regard  to  the  specialties  of
their  lower  grade  positions.  The  civil service department, upon the
request of an appointing officer stating the reasons why the filling  of
administrative positions in grade fourteen or higher under his jurisdic-
tion  from  an  interdepartmental  promotion  list  or  a promotion list
including persons employed in other units of government would be in  the
best interests of the state service, or upon its own initiative whenever
it  finds that the filling of administrative positions in grade fourteen
or higher in any department from such an interdepartmental or  intergov-
ernmental  promotion  list  would  be in the best interests of the state
service, may certify  such  an  interdepartmental  or  intergovernmental
promotion list for filling such positions, without preference to depart-
mental  lists  or  to  eligibles  holding  lower  grade positions in the
department or promotion unit in which such positions exist.
  (c) Transfers shall be allowed between administrative positions in the
same or related or collateral specialties  which  involve  substantially
equivalent  COMPETITIVE  EXAMINATIONS OR NON-COMPETITIVE tests or quali-
fications, subject to such conditions and limitations as the state civil
service department may prescribe.
  (d) The  provisions  of  this  subdivision  shall  be  applicable  and
controlling,  notwithstanding  any  other  provisions of this section or
chapter or any other law.
  S 7. Subdivision 1 of section 70 of the civil service law, as  amended
by chapter 718 of the laws of 1993, is amended to read as follows:
  1. General provisions. Except as provided in subdivisions four and six
of  this section no employee IN THE COMPETITIVE OR NON-COMPETITIVE CLASS
shall be transferred to a position for which there is required  by  this
chapter  or  the  rules  established  hereunder an examination involving
essential tests or qualifications different from or  higher  than  those
required for the position held by such employee. The state and municipal
commissions  may  adopt  rules  governing transfers between positions in
their respective jurisdictions  and  may  also  adopt  reciprocal  rules
providing  for the transfer of employees from one governmental jurisdic-
tion to another. No employee shall be transferred  without  his  or  her
consent  except  as provided in subdivision six of this section or  upon
the transfer of  functions  as  provided  in  subdivision  two  of  this
section. NOTWITHSTANDING THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION FIFTY OF THIS CHAPTER
OR ANY OTHER LAW, TRANSFERS IN THE STATE SERVICE PURSUANT TO THIS SUBDI-
VISION  FROM  NON-COMPETITIVE CLASS POSITIONS TO COMPETITIVE CLASS POSI-
TIONS SHALL BE PERMITTED ONLY WHERE THE NON-COMPETITIVE TESTS OR  QUALI-
FICATIONS INCLUDE POSSESSION OF CREDENTIALS, LICENSES, OR CERTIFICATIONS
GRANTED  BY  APPROPRIATE  REGULATORY  BODIES  WHICH  ARE  SIMILAR TO THE
REQUIRED ESSENTIAL TESTS OR  QUALIFICATIONS  OF  THE  COMPETITIVE  CLASS
POSITION.
  S  8. Subdivision 4 of section 70 of the civil service law, as amended
by chapter 718 of the laws of 1993, is amended to read as follows:

S. 6255--B                         93                         A. 9055--B

  4. Transfer and change of title.  Notwithstanding  the  provisions  of
subdivision  one  of  this  section  or  any other provision of law, any
permanent employee in the competitive, NON-COMPETITIVE, OR  LABOR  class
who  meets all of the requirements for a competitive examination, and is
otherwise  qualified as determined by the state civil service commission
or the municipal civil service commission, as the case may be, shall  be
eligible for participation in a non-competitive examination in a differ-
ent  position  classification,  provided, however, that such employee is
holding a position in a similar grade.
  S 9. Section 70 of the civil service law is amended by  adding  a  new
subdivision 3 to read as follows:
  3.  TRANSFER OF PERSONNEL UPON THE CONSOLIDATION OR MERGER OF AGENCIES
OR DEPARTMENTS OF THE STATE. OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES TRANSFERRED PURSUANT
TO SUBDIVISION ONE OR TWO OF THIS SECTION TO A NEW DEPARTMENT OR  AGENCY
SHALL  BE  TRANSFERRED IN THEIR CURRENT CIVIL SERVICE CLASSIFICATION AND
STATUS. TRANSFERRED PERMANENT EMPLOYEES WHOSE POSITIONS ARE SUBSEQUENTLY
RECLASSIFIED TO ALIGN WITH THE  DUTIES  AND  RESPONSIBILITIES  OF  THEIR
POSITIONS  WITHIN THE NEW DEPARTMENT OR AGENCY SHALL HOLD SUCH POSITIONS
WITHOUT FURTHER EXAMINATION OR QUALIFICATION.  NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER
PROVISION OF THIS CHAPTER, THE NAMES OF PERMANENT EMPLOYEES  TRANSFERRED
FROM A STATE DEPARTMENT OR AGENCY TO A NEW DEPARTMENT OR AGENCY WHO WERE
ON A PROMOTION ELIGIBLE LIST FOR APPOINTMENT IN THE AGENCY OR DEPARTMENT
FROM  WHICH  SUCH  EMPLOYEES  WERE  TRANSFERRED  SHALL  BE  ADDED TO THE
PROMOTION ELIGIBLE LIST IN THE NEW DEPARTMENT OR AGENCY,  AS  THE  STATE
CIVIL SERVICE DEPARTMENT DEEMS APPROPRIATE.
  S  10. This act shall take effect immediately; provided, however, that
section one of this act shall be deemed to have been in full  force  and
effect on and after December 31, 2011.

  (c) Subject to the provisions of chapter fifty-nine of the laws of two
thousand,  the  dormitory  authority shall not issue any bonds for state
university educational facilities purposes if the  principal  amount  of
bonds to be issued when added to the aggregate principal amount of bonds
issued  by  the  dormitory  authority  on and after July first, nineteen
hundred eighty-eight for state university  educational  facilities  will
exceed  ten  billion  [eighty-nine]  THREE HUNDRED FOUR million dollars;
provided, however, that bonds issued or to be issued shall  be  excluded
from  such  limitation  if:    (1) such bonds are issued to refund state
university construction bonds and state  university  construction  notes
previously  issued  by the housing finance agency; or (2) such bonds are
issued to refund bonds of the authority or other obligations issued  for
state  university  educational facilities purposes and the present value
of the aggregate debt service on the refunding bonds does not exceed the
present value of the aggregate debt service on the bonds refunded there-
by; provided, further that upon certification by  the  director  of  the
budget  that the issuance of refunding bonds or other obligations issued
between April first, nineteen hundred ninety-two and March thirty-first,
nineteen hundred ninety-three will generate long term economic  benefits
to  the  state, as assessed on a present value basis, such issuance will
be deemed to have met the present value test noted above.  For  purposes
of  this subdivision, the present value of the aggregate debt service of
the refunding  bonds  and  the  aggregate  debt  service  of  the  bonds
refunded, shall be calculated by utilizing the true interest cost of the
refunding  bonds,  which  shall  be that rate arrived at by doubling the
semi-annual  interest  rate  (compounded  semi-annually)  necessary   to
discount  the  debt  service  payments  on  the refunding bonds from the
payment dates thereof to the date of issue of the refunding bonds to the
purchase price of the refunding bonds, including interest accrued there-
on prior to the issuance thereof. The maturity of such bonds, other than
bonds issued to refund outstanding bonds, shall not exceed the  weighted
average economic life, as certified by the state university construction
fund,  of  the facilities in connection with which the bonds are issued,
and in any case not later than the earlier of thirty years or the  expi-
ration  of  the  term of any lease, sublease or other agreement relating

thereto; provided that no note, including renewals thereof, shall mature
later than five years after the date  of  issuance  of  such  note.  The
legislature  reserves  the  right to amend or repeal such limit, and the
state  of New York, the dormitory authority, the state university of New
York, and the state university construction  fund  are  prohibited  from
covenanting  or  making  any other agreements with or for the benefit of
bondholders which might in any way affect such right.
  S 53. This act shall take effect immediately and shall  be  deemed  to
have  been in full force and effect on and after April 1, 2012; provided
that sections one through  seven,  sections  ten  through  fifteen,  and
section  seventeen  of  this  act shall expire March 31, 2013, when upon
such date, the provisions of such sections  shall  be  deemed  repealed;
provided  further that the amendments to subdivisions 1 and 2 of section
45 of section 1 of chapter 174 of the  laws  of  1968  made  by  section
forty-nine  of this act shall not affect the expiration of such subdivi-

ance with section one hundred fifty-one of this chapter. Such  funds  as

ment shall have been rendered. It is hereby declared to be the intent of
the legislature that this act would  have  been  enacted  even  if  such

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. This act enacts into law major  components  of  legislation
which are necessary to implement the state fiscal plan for the 2012-2013
state  fiscal  year.  Each  component  is wholly contained within a Part
identified as Parts A through V. The effective date for each  particular
provision contained within such Part is set forth in the last section of
such Part. Any provision in any section contained within a Part, includ-
ing the effective date of the Part, which makes a reference to a section
"of  this  act", when used in connection with that particular component,
shall be deemed to mean and refer to the corresponding  section  of  the
Part  in  which  it  is  found. Section three of this act sets forth the
general effective date of this act.

                                 PART A
                          Intentionally Omitted

                                 PART B

  Section 1. Section 396-ff of the general business law is REPEALED.
  S 2. Legislative findings and intent. The legislature  finds  that  in
2005,  the  national clearance rate for homicide cases was approximately
60% and over 3,000 gun homicide cases went unsolved;  that  in  approxi-
mately half of gun homicide investigations a spent cartridge casing, but
not  a firearm, is recovered at the crime scene; that currently deployed

A. 9055--C                          4

national ballistic identification systems  cannot  identify  the  serial
number  of  a gun unless the gun itself has been recovered; that firearm
microstamping is a revolutionary forensic technology  that  produces  an
identifiable  alpha-numeric  and  geometric  code  onto  the rear of the
cartridge casing each time a semiautomatic pistol  is  fired;  that  the
alpha-numeric  and  geometric  code on an expended cartridge casing will
provide an initial lead for law enforcement by enabling law  enforcement
to  match the cartridge casing found at a crime to the original owner of
the firearm; that information from completed crime  gun  tracing  is  an
important  element utilized by COMPSTAT and other crime analysis systems
to target illegal firearms trafficking;  that  microstamping  technology
continues  to  produce  identifiable  markings  onto  expended cartridge
casings even after thousands of rounds of testing; that this  additional
tool  will  help  law  enforcement  investigate illegal gun trafficking,
close firearm-related criminal cases and protect the  public;  and  that
legislative action is necessary to require all new semiautomatic pistols
sold after January 1, 2014 to be microstamp-ready.
  S  3.  Section  265.00  of  the penal law is amended by adding two new
subdivisions 24 and 25 to read as follows:
  24. "MICROSTAMP-READY," WHEN USED WITH REFERENCE  TO  A  SEMIAUTOMATIC
PISTOL,  MEANS  THAT  SUCH  PISTOL  IS  MANUFACTURED TO PRODUCE A UNIQUE
ALPHA-NUMERIC OR GEOMETRIC CODE  ON  AT  LEAST  TWO  LOCATIONS  ON  EACH
EXPENDED  CARTRIDGE  CASE  THAT  IDENTIFIES  THE MAKE, MODEL, AND SERIAL
NUMBER OF THE PISTOL.
  25. "MICROSTAMPING COMPONENT OR MECHANISM," WHEN USED  WITH  REFERENCE
TO A SEMIAUTOMATIC PISTOL, MEANS A COMPONENT OR MECHANISM OF SUCH PISTOL
DESIGNED  AND  INTENDED  TO  PRODUCE A UNIQUE ALPHA-NUMERIC OR GEOMETRIC
CODE ON AN EXPENDED CARTRIDGE THAT IDENTIFIES THE MAKE, MODEL, AND SERI-
AL NUMBER OF THE PISTOL.
  S 4. Subdivision 6 of section 265.10 of the penal law, as  amended  by
chapter 189 of the laws of 2000, is amended to read as follows:
  6. (A) Any person who wilfully defaces any machine-gun, large capacity
ammunition feeding device or firearm, INCLUDING DEFACING A MICROSTAMPING
COMPONENT  OR MECHANISM OF A SEMIAUTOMATIC PISTOL AS DESCRIBED IN SUBDI-
VISION TWENTY-FIVE OF SECTION 265.00 OF THIS ARTICLE,  is  guilty  of  a
class D felony. (B) ANY DEALER IN FIREARMS LICENSED UNDER SECTION 400.00
OF  THIS CHAPTER WHO SELLS, OFFERS FOR SALE, EXCHANGES, GIVES, TRANSFERS
OR DELIVERS A SEMIAUTOMATIC PISTOL, KNOWING THAT A MICROSTAMPING  COMPO-
NENT OR MECHANISM OF SUCH PISTOL AS DESCRIBED IN SUBDIVISION TWENTY-FIVE
OF SECTION 265.00 OF THIS ARTICLE HAS BEEN DEFACED, IS GUILTY OF A CLASS
A MISDEMEANOR. FOR PURPOSES OF THIS SUBDIVISION, DEFACING A SEMIAUTOMAT-
IC  PISTOL  DOES  NOT  INCLUDE  (1)  MODIFYING A SEMIAUTOMATIC PISTOL TO
RENDER IT MICROSTAMP-READY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SUBDIVI-
SION TWENTY-FOUR OF SECTION 265.00 OF THIS ARTICLE OR (2) REPLACING  THE
FIRING  PIN OF A SEMIAUTOMATIC PISTOL THAT IS MICROSTAMP-READY WHEN SUCH
PIN IS DAMAGED OR IN NEED OF  REPLACEMENT  FOR  THE  SAFE  USE  OF  SUCH
PISTOL, OR REPLACING SUCH PIN FOR A LEGITIMATE SPORTING PURPOSE.
  S  5.  The  penal law is amended by adding two new sections 265.38 and
265.39 to read as follows:
S 265.38 MICROSTAMPING OF SEMIAUTOMATIC PISTOLS; PENALTIES.
  IT SHALL BE UNLAWFUL:
  1. FOR ANY DEALER IN FIREARMS LICENSED UNDER SECTION  400.00  OF  THIS

SAND FOURTEEN TO ANY PERSON OTHER THAN A DEALER IN FIREARMS, UNLESS SUCH

  2.  FOR ANY MANUFACTURER OR WHOLESALE DEALER TO DELIVER OR CAUSE TO BE
DELIVERED TO ANY PERSON IN THIS STATE, A SEMIAUTOMATIC  PISTOL  MANUFAC-

ER  CERTIFIES TO SUCH PERSON AT THE TIME OF SUCH DELIVERY, IN ACCORDANCE
WITH  RULES AND REGULATIONS PROMULGATED BY THE DIVISION OF STATE POLICE,
THAT SUCH PISTOL IS MICROSTAMP-READY. SUCH RULES AND  REGULATIONS  SHALL
INCLUDE  A  REQUIREMENT THAT, AS PART OF THE CERTIFICATION, THE MANUFAC-
TURER SHALL PROVIDE THE MAKE, MODEL AND SERIAL NUMBER OF THE PISTOL.
  A VIOLATION OF ANY PROVISION OF THIS SECTION IS A CLASS B MISDEMEANOR;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT A PERSON, INCLUDING A DEALER IN FIREARMS, WHOLE-
SALE DEALER OR A  MANUFACTURER,  WHO  VIOLATES  ANY  PROVISION  OF  THIS
SECTION   AFTER  HAVING  PREVIOUSLY  BEEN  CONVICTED  OF  VIOLATING  ANY
PROVISION OF THIS SECTION IS GUILTY OF A CLASS A MISDEMEANOR.
S 265.39 MICROSTAMPING OF SEMIAUTOMATIC PISTOLS; AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE.
  IN ANY PROSECUTION UNDER SUBDIVISION ONE OF  SECTION  265.38  OF  THIS
ARTICLE,  IT  IS  AN AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE THAT THE DEALER IN FIREARMS, AT
THE TIME OF SALE, OFFER FOR SALE, EXCHANGE, GIVING, TRANSFER OR DELIVERY
OF THE SEMIAUTOMATIC PISTOL, WAS IN POSSESSION OF:
  1. A CERTIFICATION FROM THE  MANUFACTURER  OF  SUCH  PISTOL  DELIVERED
PURSUANT TO SUBDIVISION TWO OF SECTION 265.38 OF THIS ARTICLE, THAT SUCH
PISTOL IS MICROSTAMP-READY; OR
  2.  AN  EXACT  COPY  OF  SUCH  CERTIFICATION OBTAINED BY THE DEALER IN
FIREARMS FROM SUCH MANUFACTURER IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE RULES  AND
REGULATIONS PROMULGATED BY THE DIVISION OF STATE POLICE.
  THE  DIVISION  OF  STATE POLICE SHALL PROMULGATE RULES AND REGULATIONS
GOVERNING PROCEDURES AND STANDARDS FOR EXACT  COPIES  OF  CERTIFICATIONS
AND THE OBTAINING OF SUCH COPIES BY A DEALER IN FIREARMS FROM A MANUFAC-

  S  6.  Subdivision 5 of section 265.15 of the penal law, as amended by
chapter 695 of the laws of 1987, is amended to read as follows:
  5. The possession by any person of  a  defaced  machine-gun,  firearm,
rifle  or  shotgun  is presumptive evidence that such person defaced the
same, PROVIDED, HOWEVER,  THAT  THIS  SUBDIVISION  SHALL  NOT  APPLY  TO
POSSESSION  OF  A  SEMI-AUTOMATIC  PISTOL  WHERE  THE DEFACEMENT ALLEGED
CONSISTS OF DEFACING A MICROSTAMPING  COMPONENT  OR  MECHANISM  OF  SUCH
PISTOL.
  S  7.  This act shall take effect immediately; provided, however, that
sections three, four, five and six of this act shall take effect January
1, 2014, or at such time that the superintendent of the state police has
received written notice from one or more microstamp job shops that  such

on two internal surfaces of a semiautomatic pistol  in  accordance  with
subdivision  24 of section 265.00 of the penal law for a price of twelve
dollars or less at a production  level  of  one  thousand  semiautomatic
pistols per batch, whichever occurs later; provided that the division of

university  educational  facilities  purposes if the principal amount of
bonds to be issued when added to the aggregate principal amount of bonds
issued by the dormitory authority on  and  after  July  first,  nineteen
hundred  eighty-eight  for  state university educational facilities will
exceed ten billion [eighty-nine] THREE HUNDRED TWENTY-NINE  million  ONE
HUNDRED  THOUSAND dollars; provided, however, that bonds issued or to be
issued shall be excluded from such limitation if:   (1) such  bonds  are
issued to refund state university construction bonds and state universi-
ty  construction  notes previously issued by the housing finance agency;
or (2) such bonds are issued to refund bonds of the authority  or  other
obligations  issued for state university educational facilities purposes
and the present value of the aggregate debt  service  on  the  refunding

the director of the budget that the issuance of refunding bonds or other
obligations  issued between April first, nineteen hundred ninety-two and

term  economic  benefits  to  the  state, as assessed on a present value
basis, such issuance will be deemed to have met the present  value  test

A. 9055--C                         64

noted  above. For purposes of this subdivision, the present value of the
aggregate debt service of the refunding bonds  and  the  aggregate  debt
service of the bonds refunded, shall be calculated by utilizing the true
interest  cost  of the refunding bonds, which shall be that rate arrived
at by doubling the semi-annual interest rate (compounded  semi-annually)
necessary  to  discount the debt service payments on the refunding bonds
from the payment dates thereof to the date of  issue  of  the  refunding
bonds  to  the purchase price of the refunding bonds, including interest
accrued thereon prior to the issuance  thereof.  The  maturity  of  such
bonds,  other  than  bonds issued to refund outstanding bonds, shall not
exceed the weighted average economic life, as  certified  by  the  state
university construction fund, of the facilities in connection with which
the  bonds  are  issued,  and  in any case not later than the earlier of
thirty years or the expiration of the term of  any  lease,  sublease  or
other  agreement  relating  thereto;  provided  that  no note, including
renewals thereof, shall mature later than five years after the  date  of
issuance  of  such  note. The legislature reserves the right to amend or
repeal such limit, and the state of New York, the  dormitory  authority,
the  state university of New York, and the state university construction
fund are prohibited from covenanting or making any other agreements with
or for the benefit of bondholders which might in  any  way  affect  such
right.
  S  53.  Paragraph  (c) of subdivision 14 of section 1680 of the public
authorities law, as amended by section 39 of part PP of  chapter  56  of
the laws of 2009, is amended to read as follows:
  (c) Subject to the provisions of chapter fifty-nine of the laws of two
thousand,  (i)  the  dormitory  authority  shall not deliver a series of
bonds for city university community college facilities, except to refund
or to be substituted for or in lieu of other bonds in relation  to  city
university  community college facilities pursuant to a resolution of the
dormitory authority adopted before July first, nineteen hundred  eighty-
five  or any resolution supplemental thereto, if the principal amount of
bonds so to be issued when added  to  all  principal  amounts  of  bonds
previously  issued by the dormitory authority for city university commu-
nity college facilities, except to refund or to be substituted  in  lieu
of  other bonds in relation to city university community college facili-
ties will exceed the sum of four hundred twenty-five million dollars and
(ii) the dormitory authority shall not deliver a series of bonds  issued
for  city university facilities, including community college facilities,

substituted for or in lieu of other bonds in relation to city university
facilities and except for bonds issued pursuant to a resolution  supple-
mental  to a resolution of the dormitory authority adopted prior to July
first, nineteen hundred eighty-five, if the principal amount of bonds so
to be issued when added to the  principal  amount  of  bonds  previously
issued pursuant to any such resolution, except bonds issued to refund or
to  be  substituted  for  or  in lieu of other bonds in relation to city
university facilities, will exceed [six] SEVEN  billion  [eight  hundred
forty-three]  TWENTY-NINE  million  [two]  ONE  hundred  EIGHTY thousand
dollars.  The legislature reserves the right to  amend  or  repeal  such
limit,  and  the  state  of  New York, the dormitory authority, the city
university, and the fund are prohibited from covenanting or  making  any
other  agreements  with or for the benefit of bondholders which might in
any way affect such right.

have  been in full force and effect on and after April 1, 2012; provided
that sections one through seven, sections ten through fourteen,  section
sixteen, and sections twenty through thirty-one of this act shall expire

visions 1 and 2 of section 45 of section 1 of chapter 174 of the laws of
1968 made by section forty-nine of this act shall not affect the expira-
tion of such subdivisions and shall be deemed to expire therewith.

                                 PART T

  Section 1. Legislative findings. The legislature finds that the United
States Department of Veterans  Affairs  State  Cemetery  Grants  may  be
awarded  to  establish,  expand  or  improve state-owned veterans' ceme-
teries, but do not fund maintenance, repairs or operation.  The  program
assists states in providing gravesites in those areas where the National
Cemetery  Administration  does not fully satisfy veterans' burial needs.
The program complements the federal network of national cemeteries.
  The legislature further finds that there is  strong  evidence  that  a
need  for a state veterans' cemetery exists within the state borders and
that there are a number of regions of the  state  where  veterans  would
benefit  from  easier  access to a veterans' cemetery. Therefore, if the
state were to apply for and receive  a  federal  grant  to  construct  a

A. 9055--C                         71

veterans'  cemetery, it is critically important that independent experts
evaluate the burial needs of  the  state's  veterans  and  evaluate  the
regions  of  the state where one could best be constructed to respond to
the greatest need.
  S  2.  1. There is hereby established a New York state veterans' ceme-
tery temporary advisory committee, whose purpose shall be  to  recommend
an  appropriate site for a veterans' shrine that would be a cemetery and
to serve as an expression of the respect of a grateful state and  nation
for  the  service  and sacrifice of its veterans.  Such veterans' shrine
shall be designed as the final resting place for service members who die
on active duty, veterans and their spouses and  minor  children  in  the
state  of  New York.  The cemetery shall provide an enduring memorial to
their sacrifices as well as a dignified and respectful setting for their
final resting place.  Such committee shall consist of nine members  that
shall be appointed as follows: two members to be appointed by the gover-
nor,  two  members  to  be  appointed  by the temporary president of the
senate, one member to be appointed by the minority leader of the senate,
two members to be appointed by the speaker  of  the  assembly,  and  one
member  to be appointed by the minority leader of the assembly. In addi-
tion, the state director of the  division  of  veterans'  affairs  shall
serve  as  an  ex-officio member of the committee and shall serve as its
chair. A majority of the appointed members shall be United States veter-
ans who have been released from such service otherwise than by dishonor-
able discharge or who have been furloughed to the  reserves  or  have  a
family  member  that is a veteran. At least two members shall be experts
in the field of cemetery design.  No appointed member shall be a  member
of  the  executive, legislative, or judicial branch of the state govern-
ment at the time of his or her appointment. No member shall receive  any
compensation  for  his  or  her  services, but members who are not state
officials shall be reimbursed for their actual and  necessary  expenses,
including  travel  expenses  incurred  in  the  performance of duty. The
committee shall consult with the commissioner of general  services,  the
director  of  the division of cemeteries within the department of state,
and the adjutant general.
  2. One person or entity shall be hired as an expert to  analyze  popu-
lation data and feasibility of cemetery construction.
  3.  On or before February 15, 2013, the New York state veterans' ceme-
tery temporary advisory committee shall  report  to  the  governor,  the
temporary  president  of the senate, and the speaker of the assembly and
include a recommendation  for  the  specific  location  of  a  veterans'
shrine.    Such  report  shall  also  include  but not be limited to the
following information:  data on that population that would be served  by
the  site,  the  average  age of the population in the area covered, the
mortality rate of the veteran population for the  areas;  the  size  and
boundaries  of  the  area,  transportation  accessibility  of  the site,
surrounding land use, topography of the land, site characteristics, cost
of acquisition, cost of maintenance; cost of operations including  sala-
ries  of  potential staff to maintain a state veterans' cemetery and the
location of existing cemeteries including but not  limited  to  national
veterans'  cemeteries, county veterans' cemeteries, cemeteries that have
plots devoted to veterans, not-for-profit cemeteries and any other  type
of  burial  grounds devoted to the interment of human remains that is of
public record.  The report shall also discuss other sites considered and
set forth in detail the basis for its recommended site in comparison  to
other potential sites.

  S  3.  This  act shall take effect on the thirtieth day after it shall

                                 PART V

  Section 1. Legislative intent. In recent years, New York has seen  the
inappropriate and harmful use of technology increase exponentially among

S. 6255--D                         30                         A. 9055--D

the  juvenile  population due to the accessibility and interconnectivity
of this form of communication. This problem has become more  serious  as
the  violence  and  gravity of the behavior has escalated, reaching into
traditional sanctuaries for our children including their homes. Notably,
this has resulted in tragic cases of suicide as well as various cases of
long-term  impairments  to  both  the victim and the aggressor. Both the
acts of cyberbullying  and  sexting  include  components  of  aggressive
behavior, significant disrespect to an individual, and emotional trauma.
Although New York has taken initial steps to address bullying, a compre-
hensive  and  multi-tiered  approach  to  this activity is imperative in
order to appropriately tackle the behavior as well as its repercussions.
This requires cooperation among all members of our community,  including
schools, family units, and the criminal justice system. This legislation
is  a  component  of  this inclusive approach by creating an appropriate
educational program for the youth whose action or behavior has  come  to
the attention of the judicial system.
  S 2. Section 458-l of the social services law, as added by chapter 535
of the laws of 2011, is amended to read as follows:

BEING, the subject of a [pending] PERSON IN NEED OF SUPERVISION petition
in family court [alleging he or she has committed an eligible offense or
a  person who has been charged, in criminal court,] WHERE ELEMENTS OF AN
ELIGIBLE OFFENSE HAVE BEEN INDICATED; OR (II) HAS BEEN ARRESTED  FOR  OR
CHARGED  with  an eligible offense, OR IT IS OTHERWISE ALLEGED THAT SUCH
PERSON HAS COMMITTED AN ELIGIBLE OFFENSE, as that  term  is  defined  in
paragraph  (b)  of this subdivision.  IN DETERMINING WHETHER TO ORDER AN
ELIGIBLE PERSON WHO HAS BEEN ARRESTED FOR OR CHARGED  WITH  AN  ELIGIBLE
OFFENSE AS AN ADULT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE EDUCATION REFORM PROGRAM UNDER
THIS  SECTION, A JUDGE MUST CONSIDER, AMONG OTHER FACTORS, PRIOR PARTIC-
IPATION IN THE PROGRAM AS AN ADULT.
  (b) "eligible offense" means a crime or offense committed, OR, IN  THE
CASE  OF A PERSON WHO IS, OR IS AT RISK OF BEING THE SUBJECT OF A PERSON
IN NEED OF SUPERVISION PETITION, CONDUCT  ENGAGED  IN,  by  an  eligible
person  that  involved  cyberbullying  or the sending or receipt THROUGH
ELECTRONIC MEANS of obscenity, as defined in subdivision one of  section
235.00  of  the  penal  law, or nudity, as defined in subdivision two of
section 235.20 of the penal law, when the sender and the receiver there-
of were both under the age of twenty at the time of such  communication,
but not more than five years apart in age.
  (c) "program" means the education reform program developed pursuant to
subdivision two of this section.
  2.  The  office  of  children  and  family  services,  hereinafter the
"office," shall develop and implement, in consultation with the division
of criminal justice services and  the  state  education  department,  an
education  reform  program [for] TO BE PROVIDED TO eligible persons [who
