AN ACT to amend the elder law, in relation to  establishing  the  mature
  work task force, and providing for its powers and duties

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

  Section 1. Legislative findings and  intent.  The  legislature  hereby
finds  and declares that the demographic projections are showing clearly
that older workers will continue to make up a rapidly growing percentage
of the work force. This growth represents the fact that  the  population
as  a whole is getting older due to several factors, including the aging
of the baby boom generation, lower birth  rates  for  generations  imme-
diately  following  the  baby boom, longer life expectancies and younger
generations  leaving  the  state  to  work  elsewhere.  The  legislature
believes  efforts  must  be  undertaken  to  identify priorities, policy
alternatives and emerging issues with respect to  assisting  both  busi-
nesses and older New Yorkers in preparing for the impact of this tremen-
dous demographic shift. The legislature therefore establishes the mature
worker task force to ensure a coordination of public and private efforts
to address the needs of the growing numbers of older workers and to help
allocate resources as necessary. This newly established task force shall
be  comprised  of  appropriate  state agency personnel, as well as aging
advocates, mature workers ages  fifty-five  and  older,  senior  service
providers, employment training specialists, and representatives of labor
and business interests.
  S  2.  The  elder  law is amended by adding a new article 3 to read as
follows:
                               ARTICLE III
                        MATURE WORKER TASK FORCE
SECTION 301. DEFINITIONS.
        302. MATURE WORKER TASK FORCE.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                           LBD07966-01-1
