2011-S5415 - Summary

Extends provisions relating to the membership composition of the metropolitan transportation authority board.

2011-S5415 - Sponsor Memo

                                BILL NUMBER:S5415

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend chapter 549 of the laws of 1994, amending the public
authorities law relating to the membership composition of the
metropolitan transportation authority board, in relation to extending
the effectiveness of such provisions

PURPOSE:
Chapter 2 of the laws of 2010 extended from January 1, 2010 to
January 1, 2012 provisions relating to the composition of the MTA
Board to include two non-voting members (one to represent the riders
and one to represent labor). This bill extends the sunset provision
to January 1, 2014.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section 1 of the bill extends chapter 2 of the
laws of 2010 from January 1, 2012 to January 1, 2014.

Section 3 is the effective date.

JUSTIFICATION:
The two non-voting members of the MTA Board serve
rotating 18-month terms with 4 alternate non-voting members. The
objective of this somewhat confusing system of rotating non-voting

members is to have one non-voting member representing the commuters
(the users of transit, Long Island Railroad or Metro-North Railroad)
interests and one non-voting member representing labor (transit, Long
Island Railroad or Metro-North Railroad) interests, with the only
restriction being that the two non-voting members serving at anyone
time can not both represent the same MTA agency. This is to ensure
that there is always one subway/bus representative (rider or labor)
and one commuter railroad (rider or labor) representative. As with
regular prospective MTA members, non-voting and alternate members
must be confirmed by the New York State Senate.

This provision of law should be extended to allow two non-voting
members to continue to serve on the Board.
The inclusion of both rider and labor viewpoints at the MTA Board
level broadens participation and ultimately benefits the Board and
the MTA users.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
New bill.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately.
