Prior legislative history:

Chapter 373 of the Laws of 2012 dissolved 95 inactive and otherwise
defunct state and local authorities that no longer served the public
purpose for which they were created. The agencies proposed for
dissolution in this bill either should have been included in Chapter
373 or have been identified as inactive since its enactment.

Statement in Support:

This bill would repeal the statutory authorization for certain
authorities which are either defunct or which were never ultimately
established by local law. The authorities listed in this bill have
been determined inactive by the Authorities Budget Office, based on
consultation with the affected local government. Although these
authorities no longer function, their authorization continues in State
Law. This bill would repeal various sections of the Public Authorities
Law, to formally dissolve those authorities that are no longer
actively engaged in the public purpose for which they were
established. None of these authorities has any outstanding debt or
other obligations.


This bill would advance the State's effort to maintain an accurate
inventory of authorities in the State. It would update state law to
reflect the fact that certain authorities have, as a practical matter,
ceased to exist By eliminating defunct authorities, this bill would
ensure that if a local government wishes once again to use an
authority for such a purpose, it must obtain new legislation at the
state level authorizing such use. This bill would thus promote the
State's interest in curbing the proliferation of unnecessary
authorities.

Budget Implications:

None for the State. The entities formally dissolved by this bill have
no outstanding debt, so there are no fiscal implications for
bondholders.

Effective Date:

This bill would take effect 60 days after it becomes a law.

Introduced  by  Sen. MARTINS -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
  printed to be committed to the Committee on Local Government

AN ACT to repeal certain provisions of the general municipal law  relat-
  ing  to  urban  renewal  agencies; to repeal certain provisions of the
  general municipal law relating to industrial development agencies; and
  to transfer any books, records and remaining rights of  any  dissolved
  authority to the municipality for whose purpose the agency was created

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

  Section 1. Legislative intent. It is hereby declared to be a  substan-
tial  interest  of this state that residents, governments and businesses
have certainty in the corporate status and orderly dissolution of  urban
renewal  agencies  and  industrial  development  agencies, and that upon
dissolution, their enabling statutes will be repealed and  their  books,
records and remaining rights, if any, will be transferred to the munici-
pality  for  whose  purpose  the  agency was created. The welfare of the
state necessitates ensuring that the proliferation  of  moribund  public
benefit  corporations,  such  as  those included in this act found to be
defunct by the comptroller, the authorities budget office  and  the  New
York  state  commission  on  public  authority reform, does not continue
unchecked.
  S 2. Title 12 of article 15-B of the general municipal law,  as  added
by chapter 266 of the laws of 1964, is REPEALED.
  S 2-a. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, any

PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:


Chapter 373 of the Laws of 2012 dissolved 95 inactive and otherwise
defunct state and local authorities that no longer served the public
purpose for which they were created. The agencies proposed for
dissolution in this bill either should have been included in Chapter
373 or have been identified as inactive since its enactment.

STATEMENT IN SUPPORT:

This bill would repeal the statutory authorization for certain
authorities which are either defunct or which were never ultimately
established by local law. The authorities listed in this bill have
been determined inactive by the Authorities Budget Office, based on
consultation with the affected local government. Although these
authorities no longer function, their authorization continues in State
Law. This bill would repeal various sections of the Public Authorities
Law, to formally dissolve those authorities that are no longer
actively engaged in the public purpose for which they were
established. None of these authorities has any outstanding debt or
other obligations.

This bill would advance the State's effort to maintain an accurate
inventory of authorities in the State. It would update state law to
reflect the fact that certain authorities have, as a practical matter,
ceased to exist By eliminating defunct authorities, this bill would
ensure that if a local government wishes once again to use an
authority for such a purpose, it must obtain new legislation at the
state level authorizing such use. This bill would thus promote the
State's interest in curbing the proliferation of unnecessary
authorities.

BUDGET IMPLICATIONS:

None for the State. The entities formally dissolved by this bill have
no outstanding debt, so there are no fiscal implications for
bondholders.

EFFECTIVE DATE:

This bill would take effect 60 days after it becomes a law.

PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:


Chapter 373 of the Laws of 2012 dissolved 95 inactive and otherwise
defunct state and local authorities that no longer served the public
purpose for which they were created. The agencies proposed for
dissolution in this bill either should have been included in Chapter
373 or have been identified as inactive since its enactment.

STATEMENT IN SUPPORT:

This bill would repeal the statutory authorization for certain
authorities which are either defunct or which were never ultimately
established by local law. The authorities listed in this bill have
been determined inactive by the Authorities Budget Office, based on
consultation with the affected local government. Although these
authorities no longer function, their authorization continues in State
Law. This bill would repeal various sections of the Public Authorities
Law, to formally dissolve those authorities that are no longer
actively engaged in the public purpose for which they were
established. None of these authorities has any outstanding debt or
other obligations.

This bill would advance the State's effort to maintain an accurate
inventory of authorities in the State. It would update state law to
reflect the fact that certain authorities have, as a practical matter,
ceased to exist by eliminating defunct authorities, this bill would
ensure that if a local government wishes once again to use an
authority for such a purpose, it must obtain new legislation at the
state level authorizing such use. This bill would thus promote the
State's interest in curbing the proliferation of unnecessary
authorities.

BUDGET IMPLICATIONS:

None for the State. The entities formally dissolved by this bill have
no outstanding debt, so there are no fiscal implications for
bondholders.

EFFECTIVE DATE:

This bill would take effect 60 days after it becomes a law.
