BILL NUMBER:S519
TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the public authorities law, in relation to prohibiting bonuses
for employees of public authorities
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:
The purpose of the bill is to remove the ability of public authorities
to pay bonuses.
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:
Section One adds a section 2854 of the public authorities law
that will now prohibit the payment of bonuses.
Section Two adds the effective date.
JUSTIFICATION:
Recent newspaper articles have cited the practice by the New York
Power Authority and other state authorities of paying bonuses on top
of lucrative salaries and other perks. In a time of fiscal crisis
State Authorities should not be authorizing bonuses.
