                                 PART G

  Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. The legislature finds that
local governments and school districts are facing increased stress  from
rising  costs  including  employee pension obligations.  Ultimately, the
growth in pension costs results in greater stress on the  already  over-
burdened taxpayer.
  It  is  the  intent  of the legislature to offer local governments and
school districts the option to lock-in to  a  long-term  stable  pension
contribution  rate. The intent is to provide local governments with more
stability and predictability for pension obligations,  while  simultane-
ously ensuring the adequacy of pension system funding.
  It  is  the intent of the legislature to authorize the comptroller and
the New York state teachers' retirement  system  board  to  establish  a
long-term  stable  contribution option assuming a baseline term of twen-
ty-five years.   If the comptroller and the  New  York  state  teachers'
retirement system board elect to implement this act, the comptroller and

S. 2605                            26                            A. 3005

the   New  York  state  teachers'  retirement  system  board,  at  their
discretion, will determine whether such baseline term shall be increased
or decreased, as appropriate to ensure adequate pension system  funding.
It  is  the  intent  of the legislature that the comptroller and the New
York  state  teachers'  retirement  system  board,  subject   to   their
discretion,  strive  to  minimize any extension of such baseline term or
terms, to the extent possible, and to the extent an extension is  neces-
sary,  limit  any extension of such baseline term or terms not to exceed
five additional years, to the extent possible, while  ensuring  adequate
pension system funding over the full term of this option.
  S 2. The retirement and social security law is amended by adding a new
section 17-e to read as follows:
  S 17-E. LONG-TERM STABLE CONTRIBUTION OPTION FOR PARTICIPATING MUNICI-

  FISCAL NOTE.--Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50:

S. 2605                            34                            A. 3005

  This  bill  would amend the Retirement and Social Security Law and the
Education Law as it pertains to bills for certain eligible employers  of
the New York State and Local Employees' Retirement System (ERS), the New
York  State  and Local Police and Fire Retirement System (PFRS), and the
Teachers' Retirement System (TRS).
  This  bill puts in place a program that allows ERS, PFRS and TRS local
government and school district employers, if they choose to participate,
to secure a long-term stable employer contribution rate instead  of  the
fluctuating  normal employer contribution rate applied to the employer's
pensionable wage base.   The Comptroller and the  TRS  Retirement  Board
will  determine the final length of the stable pension contribution term
by increasing or decreasing such  term  to  ensure  appropriate  pension
system  funding.  The  stable  pension  contribution  rates  would be 12
percent for ERS, 12.5 percent for TRS, and 18.5 percent for PFRS.  These
stable  pension  contribution  rates  could  be  increased, by up to two
percentage points, at the discretion of  the  Comptroller  and  the  TRS
Retirement  Board,  upon  evaluations  by System actuaries, five and ten
years after commencement of the long-term stable contribution option.
  If this bill is enacted, we estimate that there would be little or  no
impact  on  the  funded status of the ERS, PFRS and TRS systems over the
full term of the program.    For  those  local  governments  and  school
districts  which elect this option, employer pension contributions would
be less than the normal employer pension contributions they would other-
wise pay in the early years of the long-term  stable  employer  contrib-
ution  option  and employer pension contributions would be more than the
normal employer contributions they would  otherwise  pay  in  the  later
years of the option.
  This  estimate,  dated  January  22,  2013,  and intended for use only
during the 2013 Legislative Session, is prepared by  the  State  of  New
York Division of the Budget.

                                 PART H

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

equal to the STANDARD MEDICARE premium charge WITHOUT ANY INCOME-RELATED
ADJUSTMENT  for  such  supplementary medical insurance benefits for such

paid  monthly  or  at other intervals to such active or retired employee
from the health insurance fund. Where appropriate, such  amount  may  be

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  employees  and
retired  employees  of  the  state,  public  authorities, public benefit
corporations or other quasi-public organizations of the state; provided,

other  quasi-public organizations of the state shall remain obligated to
pay no less than its share of such increased cost  consistent  with  its
share  of  premium or subscription charges provided for by this article.

                                 PART L

  Section 1. Notwithstanding any provision of law to the  contrary,  any
provision  of  statute or regulation that requires a local government or
school district to submit a report to a state agency or  authority  that
has  not been approved for continuation by the mandate relief council as
provided herein shall expire and be deemed repealed on  April  1,  2014;
provided,  however, that all provisions of such statutes and regulations
other than such specific reporting requirements shall be  unaffected  by
the  repeal  of such reporting requirements and remain in full force and
effect. Every state agency and authority  shall  refer  to  the  mandate
relief council, on or before September 1, 2013, all local government and
school  district  reporting  requirements,  imposed  by statute or regu-
lation, and which of these reporting requirements, in the opinion of the
agency or authority, are necessary and should be continued because  such
reporting requirements are (1) required for compliance with federal laws
or  rules or to meet eligibility standards for federal entitlements; (2)
required for the protection of the health,  safety  or  welfare  of  the
public;  or (3) are otherwise necessary for critical state purposes. The
council shall review such requests to determine whether such reports are
necessary and should be continued. Upon a determination that a reporting
requirement is necessary and should be continued, the council may direct
the agency or authority to take actions to reduce the burden the report-
ing requirement imposes on local governments and school districts.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately; provided that the mandate
relief council shall notify the  legislative  bill  drafting  commission
which  reporting  requirements  were  referred to it and which reporting
requirements were approved for continuation so that such commission  may
maintain  an accurate and timely effective database of the official text
of the laws of the state of New York in  furtherance  of  effecting  the
provisions  of section 44 of the legislative law and section 70-b of the
public officers law.

  (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  [three]  FOUR  hundred  [four]  TWENTY-TWO 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  thereby;  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 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  70.  This  act shall take effect immediately and shall be deemed to
have been in full force and effect on and after April 1, 2013;  provided
that:

a claim for reimbursement from the special disability fund, for an inju-
ry or illness with a date of accident or date of disablement on or after
July  first,  two  thousand  seven. No carrier or employer, or the state
insurance fund, may file a claim  for  reimbursement  from  the  special
disability  fund  after  July  first,  two  thousand ten, and no written
submissions or evidence in support of such  a  claim  may  be  submitted
after that date.
  (B)  All  requests  for reimbursement from the special disability fund
with a date of injury or date of disablement prior to  July  first,  two

thousand  seven  as  to  which the board has determined that the special
disability fund is liable must be submitted to  the  special  disability
fund  by  the  later of (i) one year after the expense has been paid, or
(ii) one year from the effective date of this paragraph.
  [(C)  All  claims  for  reimbursement from the special disability fund
must be accompanied by a filing fee of two hundred fifty dollars, to  be
deposited  in  the special disability fund. Upon any final ruling that a
claim is eligible for reimbursement from the fund, the fund will  return
two hundred dollars of this fee to the claimant.]
  (3)  [The chair of the board shall, as soon as practicable after April
first, nineteen hundred forty-five, assess upon and  collect  from  each
insurance  carrier,  including  the state insurance fund and any county,
city, town, village or other political  subdivision  failing  to  secure
compensation pursuant to subdivision one or two of section fifty of this
chapter, a sum equal to one per centum of the total compensation paid by
such  carrier  in  the year ending March thirty-first next preceding the
date of such assessment.
  (4) As soon as practicable  after  May  first  in  the  year  nineteen
hundred  fifty-eight,  and  annually  thereafter  as soon as practicable
after January first in each succeeding year,] EFFECTIVE THE FIRST DAY OF
JANUARY, TWO THOUSAND FOURTEEN, AND ANNUALLY THEREAFTER,  the  chair  of
the  board  shall [assess upon and] collect from all [self-insurers, the
state insurance fund, and all insurance carriers] AFFECTED EMPLOYERS (A)
a sum equal to one hundred  fifty  per  centum  of  the  total  EXPECTED
disbursements  made from the special disability fund during the [preced-
ing calendar] year (not including any disbursements made on  account  of
anticipated liabilities or waiver agreements funded by bond proceeds and
related  earnings),  less the ESTIMATED amount of the net assets in such
fund EXPECTED as of December thirty-first [of  said  preceding  calendar
year,]  and  (B)  a sum sufficient to cover debt service, and associated
costs (the "debt service assessment") to be  paid  during  the  calendar
year  by  the  dormitory  authority,  as  calculated  in accordance with
subparagraph [five] FOUR of this paragraph. Such  assessments  shall  be
[allocated  to (i) self-insurers and the state insurance fund based upon
the proportion that the total compensation payments made by all self-in-
surers and the state insurance  fund  bore  to  the  total  compensation
payments  made  by  all self-insurers, the state insurance fund, and all
insurance carriers, and (ii) insurance carriers based upon  the  propor-
tion that the total compensation payments made by all insurance carriers
bore  to the total compensation payments by all self-insurers, the state
insurance fund and all insurance carriers during the fiscal  year  which
ended within said preceding calendar year.  Insurance carriers and self-
insurers shall be liable for all such assessments regardless of the date
on  which  they came into existence, or whether they have made any claim
for reimbursement from the special disability fund. The portion of  such
sum  allocated  to self-insurers and the state insurance fund that shall
be collected from each self-insurer and the state insurance  fund  shall
be  a  sum equal to the proportion of the amount which the total compen-
sation payments of each such self-insurer or the  state  insurance  fund
bore  to  the  total compensation payments made by all self-insurers and
the state insurance fund during the fiscal year which ended within  said
preceding  calendar year. The portion of such sum allocated to insurance
carriers that shall be collected from each insurance carrier shall be  a
sum  equal  to  that  proportion  of the amount which the total standard
premium by each such insurance carrier bore to the total standard premi-
um reported by all insurance carriers during  the  calendar  year  which

S. 2605                            104                           A. 3005

ended  within  said  preceding  fiscal  year. The payments from the debt
service assessment, unless otherwise set forth in the special disability
fund financing agreement, are  hereby  pledged  therefor  and  shall  be
deemed the first monies received on account of assessments in each year.
For  the  purposes  of this paragraph, "standard premium" shall mean the
premium as defined for the purposes of this  assessment  by  the  super-
intendent  of  financial services, in consultation with the chair of the
board and the workers' compensation rating board. An  employer  who  has
ceased  to be a self-insurer shall continue to be liable for any assess-
ments into said fund on account of any compensation payments made by him
or her on his or her account during such fiscal year, and  the  security
fund,  created under the provisions of section one hundred seven of this
chapter, shall, in the event of the insolvency of any insurance company,
be liable for any assessments that would have  been  made  against  such
company  except  for its insolvency. No assessment shall be payable from
the aggregate trust fund, created under the provisions of section  twen-
ty-seven  of this article, but such fund shall continue to be liable for
all compensation that shall be payable under any award or order  of  the
board,  the  commuted value of which has been paid into such fund.  Such
assessments when collected shall be deposited with the  commissioner  of
taxation  and  finance  for  the  benefit of such fund. Unless otherwise
provided, such assessments, shall not constitute an element of loss  for
the  purpose  of establishing rates for compensation insurance but shall
for the purpose of collection be treated as separate costs by  carriers.
All  insurance carriers and the state insurance fund, shall collect such
assessments, from their  policyholders  through  a  surcharge  based  on
premiums  in  accordance  with  rules set forth by the superintendent of
financial services in consultation with the New  York  workers'  compen-
sation  rating board and the chair of the board. Such surcharge shall be
considered as part of premium for purposes prescribed by law  including,
but  not limited to, computing premium tax, reporting to the superinten-
dent of financial services pursuant to section ninety-nine of this chap-
ter and section three hundred seven of the  insurance  law,  determining
the  limitation  of  expenditures  for  the  administration of the state
insurance fund pursuant to section eighty-eight of this chapter and  the
cancellation  by  an  insurance  carrier,  including the state insurance
fund, of a policy for non-payment of premium.  The  provisions  of  this
paragraph  shall  not apply with respect to policies containing coverage
pursuant to subsection (j) of section three thousand four hundred twenty
of the insurance law relating to every  policy  providing  comprehensive
personal  liability insurance on a one, two, three or four family owner-
occupied dwelling.  The state insurance fund shall notify  its  insureds
that  such assessments, shall be, for the purpose of recoupment, treated
as separate costs, for the purpose of premiums billed on or after  Octo-
ber  first,  nineteen  hundred  ninety-four.  For  the  purposes of this
section, a "self-insurer" shall be: (i) an employer authorized to  self-
insure  under subdivision three of section fifty of this chapter, active
groups authorized pursuant to subdivision three-a of  section  fifty  of
this  chapter  or  a  group of employers authorized to self-insure under
paragraph ten of subdivision three-a of section fifty of  this  chapter;
or  (ii)  a  public  employer  authorized as set forth in paragraph a of
subdivision four of section fifty of this chapter to  self-insure  under
subdivision  three,  three-a  or four of such section or article five of
this chapter, whether individually or as a group.
  For the purposes of this paragraph, except as otherwise provided:  the
term  "insurance  carrier" shall include only stock corporations, mutual

corporations and reciprocal insurers authorized to transact the business
of workers' compensation insurance in this state; the term  "self-insur-
er"  shall  include  any employer or group of employers permitted to pay
compensation directly under the provisions of subdivision three, three-a
or four of section fifty of this chapter.
  The  board  is hereby authorized to issue credits or refunds as neces-
sary, in the case of overpayments made to the fund. An insurance carrier
that knowingly underreports premiums for the purposes  of  this  section
shall  be  guilty  of a class E felony.] INCLUDED IN THE ASSESSMENT RATE
ESTABLISHED PURSUANT TO SUBDIVISION TWO OF SECTION ONE HUNDRED FIFTY-ONE
OF THIS CHAPTER. SUCH ASSESSMENTS SHALL BE DEPOSITED  WITH  THE  COMMIS-
SIONER  OF  TAXATION  AND FINANCE AND TRANSFERRED TO THE BENEFIT OF SUCH
FUND FOLLOWING PAYMENT OF DEBT SERVICE AND  ASSOCIATED  COSTS,  IF  ANY,
PURSUANT TO SECTION ONE HUNDRED FIFTY-ONE OF THIS CHAPTER.
  [(5)]  (4)  (A) The chair and the commissioner of taxation and finance
are authorized and directed to enter into a financing agreement with the
dormitory authority, to be known as the "special disability fund financ-
ing agreement." Such agreement shall set forth the process for calculat-
ing the annual debt service of the bonds issued by the dormitory author-
ity and any other  associated  costs.  For  purposes  of  this  section,
"associated  costs" may include a coverage factor, reserve fund require-
ments, all costs of any nature incurred by the  dormitory  authority  in
connection  with  the  special  disability  fund  financing agreement or
pursuant thereto, the operating costs of the waiver agreement management
office, the costs  of  any  independent  audits  undertaken  under  this
section, and any other costs for the implementation of this subparagraph
and the issuance of bonds by the dormitory authority, including interest
rate exchange payments, rebate payments, liquidity fees, credit provider
fees,  fiduciary  fees,  remarketing,  dealer, auction agent and related
fees and other similar bond-related expenses, unless  otherwise  funded.
By  January first of each year, the dormitory authority shall provide to
the chair the calculation of the amount  expected  to  be  paid  by  the
dormitory authority in debt service and associated costs for purposes of
calculating  the  debt  service  assessment as set forth in subparagraph
[four] THREE of this paragraph.  All monies received on account  of  any
assessment  under  subparagraph  [four] THREE of this paragraph and this
subparagraph shall be applied in accordance with this  subparagraph  and
in  accordance  with  the  financing agreement until the financial obli-
gations of the dormitory authority in respect to its contract  with  its
bondholders  are  met  and all associated costs payable to the dormitory
authority have been paid, notwithstanding any  other  provision  of  law
respecting  secured  transactions. This provision may be included by the
dormitory authority in any contract of the dormitory authority with  its
bondholders.
  The special disability fund financing agreement may restrict disburse-
ments,  investments,  or rebates, and may prescribe a system of accounts
applicable to the special  disability  fund,  including  custody  of  an
account  with  a  trust  indenture trustee that may be prescribed by the
dormitory authority as part of its contract with  the  bondholders.  For
purposes  of this paragraph, the term "bonds" shall include notes issued
in anticipation of the issuance of bonds, or notes issued pursuant to  a
commercial paper program.
  (B) The chair may conduct periodic audits of any EMPLOYER, self-insur-
er, insurance carrier and the state insurance fund concerning any infor-
mation or payment required under this [paragraph] CHAPTER, including any
information  relevant  to the payment or calculation of any assessments.

S. 2605                            106                           A. 3005

The EMPLOYER, self-insurer, insurance carrier and  the  state  insurance
fund  shall  provide all necessary documents and information in relation
to an audit in a manner prescribed by the chair. Upon the  determination
of  the  chair  that [a] AN EMPLOYER, self-insurer, insurance carrier or
the state insurance fund has underpaid an assessment as a result of  its
inaccurate  reporting,  the EMPLOYER, self-insurer, insurance carrier or
the state insurance fund upon notice from the chair, shall pay the  full
amount  of  the underpaid assessment, along with interest at the rate of
nine per cent per annum on the unpaid  assessment  due  not  later  than
thirty  days  after such notice.   AN INSURANCE CARRIER OR EMPLOYER THAT
KNOWINGLY MISREPRESENTS INFORMATION FOR  THE  PURPOSE  OF  THIS  SECTION
SHALL BE GUILTY OF A CLASS E FELONY.
  [(6)]  (5)  The commissioner of taxation and finance is hereby author-
ized to receive and credit to such special disability fund  any  sum  or
sums  that  may  at  any  time be contributed to the state by the United
States of America under any act of congress, or otherwise, to which  the
state  may  be  or become entitled by reason of any payments made out of
such fund.
  [(7)] (6) The commissioner of taxation and finance shall be the custo-
dian of said fund and, unless otherwise  provided  for  in  the  special
disability fund financing agreement, shall invest any surplus or reserve
moneys  thereof  in  securities  which  constitute legal investments for
savings banks under the laws of  this  state  and  in  interest  bearing
certificates  of  deposit of a bank or trust company located and author-
ized to do business in this state or of a national bank located in  this
state  secured by a pledge of direct obligations of the United States or
of the state of New York in an  amount  equal  to  the  amount  of  such
certificates  of  deposit, and may sell any of the securities or certif-
icates of deposit in which such fund is invested if  necessary  for  the
proper  administration  or  in the best interest of such fund. Disburse-
ments from such fund as provided by this subdivision shall  be  made  by
the  commissioner  of  taxation  and finance upon vouchers signed by the
chair of the board unless the  financing  agreement  provides  for  some
other means of authorizing such disbursements that is no less protective
of the fund.
  The  commissioner  of taxation and finance, as custodian of such fund,
annually as soon as practicable after January first,  shall  furnish  to
the  chair  of  the workers' compensation board a statement of the fund,
setting forth the balance of moneys in the said fund as of the beginning
of the calendar year, the income of the fund, the  summary  of  payments
out  of  the fund on account of reimbursements and other charges ordered
to be paid by the board, and all other charges  against  the  fund,  and
setting  forth the balance of the fund remaining to its credit on Decem-
ber thirty-first. Such statement shall be open to public  inspection  in
the office of the secretary of the board. The chair, not less than nine-
ty  days  after  the issuance of the dormitory authority's annual audit,
shall furnish to the temporary president of the senate and  the  speaker
of  the assembly the following reports on the special disability fund: a
revenue and operating expense statement;  a  financing  plan;  a  report
concerning  the  assets and liabilities; the number of waiver agreements
entered into by the waiver agreement management office;  the  number  of
claimants  remaining in the fund; the estimated current unfunded liabil-
ity of the fund with respect to such claims; and a debt issuance  report
including  but not limited to (i) pledged assessment revenue and securi-
tization coverage, (ii) debt service  maturities,  (iii)  interest  rate
exchange or similar agreements, and (iv) financing and issuance costs.

  The  commissioner  of  taxation  and  finance may establish within the
special disability fund such accounts and  sub-accounts  as  he  or  she
deems useful for the operation of the fund, or as necessary to segregate
moneys  within  the  fund,  subject  to  the provisions of the financing
agreement. The waiver agreement management office, as defined in section
thirty-two  of  this  article,  shall make application to the chair on a
quarterly basis for any administrative costs incurred by the office.
  S 9. Paragraph (i) of subdivision 8 of  section  15  of  the  workers'
compensation  law,  as  amended  by  chapter 635 of the laws of 1996, is
amended to read as follows:
  (i) When an application for  apportionment  of  compensation  is  made
under  this  subdivision,  the  chair of the workers' compensation board
shall appoint [a representative of] AN ATTORNEY TO REPRESENT AND  DEFEND
such  fund  in  such  proceedings[,  but  whenever it shall appear that,
through any committee,  board  or  organization  representative  of  the
interest  of  employers  or  insurance  carriers,  an  attorney has been
appointed to act for and on  behalf  of  such  employers  and  insurance
carriers  generally  to  represent  such fund in any proceedings brought
hereunder, the chair of the board may designate  such  attorney  as  the
representative  of such special disability fund in proceedings involving
claims against such fund].  Such [representative] ATTORNEY shall  there-
after  be  given notice of all proceedings involving the rights or obli-
gations of such fund. Such [representative] ATTORNEY  may apply  to  the
chair  of the board for authority to hire such medical and other experts
and to defray the expense thereof and of such witnesses as may be neces-
sary to a  proper  defense  of  any  claim,  within  an  amount  in  the
discretion  of  the  chair  and,  if  authorized, such amount shall be a
charge against such special disability fund.
  The provisions of this chapter with respect to  procedure,  except  as
may  be  otherwise provided in this subdivision, and the right of appeal
shall be preserved to the claimant and to the employer or his  insurance
carrier  and  to  such fund through its [representative and] attorney as
herein provided.
  S 10. Section 23 of the workers' compensation law, as amended by chap-
ter 6 of the laws of 2007, is amended to read as follows:
  S 23. Appeals. An award or decision of the board shall  be  final  and
conclusive  upon  all  questions within its jurisdiction, as against the
state fund or between the parties, unless reversed or modified on appeal
therefrom as hereinafter provided. Any  party  may  within  thirty  days
after  notice  of  the filing of an award or decision of a referee, file
with the board an application in writing for a modification  or  rescis-
sion  or  review of such award or decision, as provided in this chapter.
The board shall render its decision upon such application in writing and
shall include in such decision a statement of the facts which formed the
basis of its action on the issues raised before it on such  application.
Within  thirty  days after notice of the decision of the board upon such
application has been served upon the  parties,  or  within  thirty  days
after notice of an administrative redetermination review decision by the
chair  pursuant  to  subdivision  five of section fifty-two, section one
hundred thirty-one or section one hundred forty-one-a  of  this  chapter
has been served upon any party in interest, an appeal may be taken ther-
efrom  to the appellate division of the supreme court, third department,
by any party in interest, including an employer  insured  in  the  state
fund; provided, however, that [if the decision or determination was that
of  a  panel  of the board and there was a dissent from such decision or
determination other than a dissent the sole basis of which is  to  refer

S. 2605                            108                           A. 3005

the  case  to an impartial specialist,] any party in interest may within
thirty days after notice of the filing of  the  board  panel's  decision
with  the secretary of the board, make application in writing for review
thereof  by  the  full  board,  [and]  RAISING ARGUMENTS RELATIVE TO THE
ALLEGED DEFICIENCIES OF THE BOARD PANEL DECISION.  IF  THE  DECISION  OR
DETERMINATION  WAS  THAT OF A PANEL OF THE BOARD AND THERE WAS A DISSENT
FROM SUCH DECISION OR DETERMINATION OTHER THAN A DISSENT THE SOLE  BASIS
OF WHICH IS TO REFER THE CASE TO AN IMPARTIAL SPECIALIST, the full board
shall  review  and  affirm,  modify or rescind such decision or determi-
nation in the same manner as herein above provided for an award or deci-
sion of a referee.  IF THE DECISION OR DETERMINATION WAS THAT OF A UNAN-
IMOUS PANEL OF THE BOARD, OR THERE WAS A DISSENT FROM SUCH  DECISION  OR
DETERMINATION  THE SOLE BASIS OF WHICH IS TO REFER THE CASE TO AN IMPAR-
TIAL SPECIALIST, THE CHAIR AND  OR  THE  FULL  BOARD  MAY  IN  ITS  SOLE
DISCRETION  REVIEW AND AFFIRM, MODIFY OR RESCIND SUCH DECISION OR DETER-
MINATION IN THE SAME MANNER AS HEREIN ABOVE PROVIDED  FOR  AN  AWARD  OR
DECISION  OF  A  REFEREE.  Failure to apply for review by the full board
shall not bar any party in interest from taking an  appeal  directly  to
the  court  as  above  provided.   The board may also, in its discretion
certify to such appellate division of the supreme  court,  questions  of
law involved in its decision. Such appeals and the question so certified
shall  be  heard  in a summary manner and shall have precedence over all
other civil cases in such court. The board shall be deemed  a  party  to
every such appeal from its decision upon such application, and the chair
shall  be  deemed  a  party  to every such appeal from an administrative
redetermination review decision pursuant to subdivision five of  section
fifty-two  of  this  chapter.  The  attorney general shall represent the
board and the chair thereon. An appeal may also be taken to the court of
appeals in the same manner and  subject  to  the  same  limitations  not
inconsistent  herewith  as is now provided in the civil practice law and
rules. It shall not be necessary to file exceptions to  the  rulings  of
the  board.  An  appeal  to the appellate division of the supreme court,
third department, or to the court of appeals, shall  not  operate  as  a
stay  of  the payment of compensation required by the terms of the award
or of the payment of the cost of such medical, dental, surgical, optome-
tric or other attendance, treatment, devices, apparatus or other  neces-
sary items the employer is required to provide pursuant to section thir-
teen  of  this  article which are found to be fair and reasonable. Where
such award is modified or rescinded upon appeal, the appellant shall  be
entitled  to reimbursement in a sum equal to the compensation in dispute
paid to the respondent in addition to a sum equal to the  cost  of  such
medical,  dental,  surgical,  optometric or other attendance, treatment,
devices, apparatus or other necessary items the employer is required  to
provide  pursuant to section thirteen of this article paid by the appel-
lant pending adjudication of the appeal.  Such  reimbursement  shall  be
paid  from  administration  expenses  as provided in section one hundred
fifty-one of this chapter upon audit and warrant of the comptroller upon
vouchers approved by the chair. Where  such  award  is  subject  to  the
provisions  of section twenty-seven of this article, the appellant shall
pay directly to the claimant all compensation as it becomes  due  during
the  pendency  of  the  appeal, and upon affirmance shall be entitled to
credit for such payments. Neither the chair, the board, the  commission-
ers  of  the  state insurance fund nor the claimant shall be required to
file a bond upon an appeal to the court of appeals. Upon final  determi-
nation  of such an appeal, the board or chair, as the case may be, shall
enter an order in accordance therewith. Whenever a notice of  appeal  is

S. 2605                            109                           A. 3005

served  or an application made to the board by the employer or insurance
carrier for a modification or rescission or review of an award or  deci-
sion,  and the board shall find that such notice of appeal was served or
such  application  was  made  for the purpose of delay or upon frivolous
grounds, the board shall impose a penalty in the amount of five  hundred
dollars  upon  the employer or insurance carrier, which penalty shall be
added to the compensation  and  paid  to  the  claimant.  The  penalties
provided  herein  shall  be  collected in like manner as compensation. A
party against whom an award of compensation shall  be  made  may  appeal
from  a  part  of such award. In such a case the payment of such part of
the award as is not appealed from shall not prejudice any rights of such
party on appeal, nor be taken as an admission against  such  party.  Any
appeal  by  an  employer  from  an administrative redetermination review
decision pursuant to subdivision five of section fifty-two of this chap-
ter shall in no way serve to relieve the employer from the obligation to
timely pay compensation and benefits  otherwise  payable  in  accordance
with the provisions of this chapter.
  Nothing  [herein]  contained  IN  THIS  SECTION  shall be construed to
inhibit the continuing jurisdiction of the board as provided in  section
one hundred twenty-three of this chapter.
  S  11.  Paragraph (d) of subdivision 2-c of section 25 of the workers'
compensation law, as added by chapter  491  of  the  laws  of  1995,  is
amended to read as follows:
  (d)  The  determination  of  an  arbitrator or mediator pursuant to an
alternative dispute resolution procedure pertaining to the resolution of
claims arising under this chapter shall not be reviewable by  the  work-
ers'  compensation  board,  and  the  venue for any appeal shall be to a
court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with section  twenty-three
of  this chapter AND THE STANDARD OF REVIEW SHALL BE THE SAME AS FOR ANY
OTHER WORKERS' COMPENSATION CASE ON APPEAL.
  S 12. The opening paragraph of subdivision 2 of  section  142  of  the
workers'  compensation  law,  as  amended  by chapter 608 of the laws of
1989, is amended to read as follows:
  Any review, hearing, rehearing, inquiry or investigation  required  or
authorized  to  be  conducted or made by the workers' compensation board
may be conducted or made by any panel of the  board  consisting  of  not
less  than  three  members  thereof, and the order, decision or determi-
nation of a majority of the members of  a  panel  shall  be  deemed  the
order,  decision  or  determination of the board from the date of filing
thereof with the secretary of the board, unless the  board  on  its  own
motion, or on application by a party in interest for a full board review
MADE  IN  ACCORDANCE  WITH  SECTION  TWENTY-THREE OF THIS CHAPTER, shall
modify or rescind such order, decision or determination.    Four  panels
shall  be  constituted  at  all  times,  and  the chair shall assign the
members to the panels upon which they shall serve. At least  one  member
on  each  panel  shall  be  an  attorney  and counsellor-at-law, but the
absence of an attorney on any panel  shall  not  invalidate  the  order,
decision  or  determination of a majority of the members of the panel if
at least two affirmative votes are cast in favor  of  such  action.  The
panels  shall  be  constituted  so  that  the members of the board shall
alternate in their periods  of  service  together  thereon.  Whenever  a
number  of  proceedings remains pending before the board for a period in
excess of thirty days, members of the  board  shall  hold  hearings  and
otherwise  act  in  the  discharge of their duties evenings and at other
convenient times on all days of the week except Sundays, in addition  to
the times when they would perform such duties in the ordinary conduct of

S. 2605                            110                           A. 3005

the  business  of  the board, in order to expedite the disposal thereof.
The chair may and shall, when directed by the  governor,  prescribe  the
hours  and  the  times  for  such  additional performance of duty by the
members of the board and the period or periods for the continuance ther-
eof.

sation law, subdivisions 1 and 5 as amended by chapter 113 of  the  laws
of  1946, subdivision 3 as amended by chapter 6 of the laws of 2007, and
the second and third undesignated paragraphs of subdivision 3 as further
amended by section 104 of part A of chapter 62 of the laws of 2011,  are
amended to read as follows:
  1.  Notwithstanding other provisions of this chapter, when an applica-
tion for compensation is made by an employee or for  death  benefits  in
behalf  of  the  dependents of a deceased employee, and the employer has
secured the payment of compensation in accordance with section fifty  of
this  chapter,  (1)  after  a  lapse of seven years from the date of the
injury or death and claim for compensation previously  has  been  disal-
lowed  or  claim  has  been  otherwise  disposed  of without an award of
compensation, or (2) after a lapse of seven years from the date  of  the
injury  or  death  and  also a lapse of three years from the date of the

on  or  after  July first, nineteen hundred forty and prior to September
first, nineteen hundred seventy-eight, where there are persons  entitled
to  compensation  but the total amount of such compensation is less than
two thousand dollars exclusive of funeral benefits, the employer, or, if
insured, his insurance carrier, shall pay into such  fund,  or,  in  the
case  of awards made on or after July first, nineteen hundred sixty-nine
and prior to September first,  nineteen  hundred  seventy-eight,  either

between the sum of five thousand dollars and the compensation, exclusive
of funeral benefits actually paid  to  or  for  the  dependents  of  the
deceased  employee  together with any expense charge required by section

section no payment into such  special  fund  nor  to  the  special  fund
provided  by  subdivision  nine  of section fifteen nor to the uninsured
employers' fund provided by section twenty-six-a of this  article  shall
be  required.  In addition to the assessments made against all insurance
carriers for the expenses of administering  this  chapter  provided  for
under  the  provisions of section one hundred fifty-one of this chapter,
and the payments above provided,  the  employer,  or,  if  insured,  his
insurance  carrier, shall pay the sum of five dollars into said fund for
each case in which an award is made pursuant to the provisions of  para-
graphs  a to s inclusive of subdivision three of section fifteen of this

injury sustained between July first, nineteen hundred forty-two and June
thirtieth, nineteen hundred fifty, both dates inclusive,  which  payment
shall  be  in  addition  to  any  payment of compensation to the injured
employee as provided in this chapter.
  There shall be maintained in the special fund at all times  assets  at
least  equal  in  value  to  the  sum of (1) the value of awards charged
against such fund, (2) the value of all claims that have  been  reopened
by  the  board as a charge against such fund but as to which awards have
not yet been made, (3) effective January first, nineteen hundred  seven-

equal to ten per cent of the sum of items (1) [and], (2) AND (3) of this
paragraph. [For the purpose of accumulating funds  for  the  payment  of
supplemental  benefits pursuant to subdivision nine of this section, the
chairman shall impose against all carriers an assessment in the  sum  of
five  million  dollars  to  be  collected  in the respective proportions
established in the fiscal year commencing April first, nineteen  hundred
sixty-eight,  under  the  provisions of section one hundred fifty-one of
this chapter for each carrier.] Annually, as soon as  practicable  after
January  first  in  each  year, the [chairman] CHAIR shall ascertain the
condition of the fund and whenever  the  assets  shall  fall  below  the

S. 2605                            112                           A. 3005

prescribed minimum as herein provided the [chairman] CHAIR shall [assess
and] collect [from all insurance carriers, in the respective proportions
established in the prior fiscal year under the provisions of section one
hundred  fifty-one  of  this chapter for each carrier,] an amount suffi-
cient to restore the fund  to  the  prescribed  minimum.  [The  chairman
before making an assessment as provided in this section shall give thir-
ty  days'  notice to the representative of the fund, designated pursuant
to subdivision five of this section, that an itemized statement  of  the
condition  of the fund is open for his inspection. The superintendent of
financial services may examine into the condition of  the  fund  at  any
time  on  his  own initiative or on request of the chairman or represen-
tative of the fund.
  Such assessment and the payments made into said fund shall not consti-
tute an element of loss for the purpose of establishing rates for  work-
ers'  compensation  insurance as provided in the insurance law but shall
for the purpose of recoupment be treated as separate costs by  carriers.
Carriers  shall  assess  such costs on their policyholders in accordance
with rules set forth by the New York workers' compensation rating board,
as approved by the superintendent of financial services.] COMMENCING  ON
THE  FIRST  OF JANUARY, TWO THOUSAND FOURTEEN, THE AMOUNT COLLECTED FROM
ALL EMPLOYERS REQUIRED TO OBTAIN WORKERS' COMPENSATION COVERAGE TO MAIN-
TAIN THE FINANCIAL INTEGRITY OF THE FUND MAY BE PAID OVER  A  PERIOD  OF
TIME AT THE DISCRETION OF THE CHAIR BASED UPON AN ANALYSIS OF THE FINAN-
CIAL  CONDITION  OF  THE FUND.   SUCH PAYMENT AS DETERMINED BY THE CHAIR
SHALL BE INCLUDED IN THE ASSESSMENT RATE ESTABLISHED PURSUANT TO  SUBDI-
VISION  TWO  OF SECTION ONE HUNDRED FIFTY-ONE OF THIS CHAPTER. THE CHAIR
SHALL PROMULGATE REGULATIONS TO ADMINISTER CLAIMS  WHOSE  LIABILITY  HAS
BEEN  TRANSFERRED  TO  THE FUND FOR REOPENED CASES. SUCH REGULATIONS MAY
INCLUDE EXERCISE OF THE CHAIR'S AUTHORITY TO ADMINISTER EXISTING CLAIMS,

CHAIR  MAY  EXAMINE INTO THE CONDITION OF THE FUND AT ANY TIME ON HIS OR
HER OWN INITIATIVE OR ON REQUEST OF THE ATTORNEY OF THE FUND.

twenty of the insurance law relating to every policy  providing  compre-
hensive personal liability insurance on a one, two, three or four family
owner-occupied dwelling.

CHAIR shall appoint [a representative of such fund] AN ATTORNEY in  such
proceedings [and, insofar as practicable, such representative shall be a
person  designated  by the employer originally liable for the payment of
compensation, or his insurance carrier, but whenever it shall appear  to
the chairman that through any committee, board or organization or repre-
sentative of the interest of the insurance carriers an attorney has been
appointed  to act for and on behalf of such carriers generally to repre-

TIVE DATE OF THE CHAPTER OF THE LAWS  OF  TWO  THOUSAND  THIRTEEN  WHICH

MENT  NECESSARY  TO  ENABLE  THE  AGGREGATE TRUST FUND TO MEET ITS OBLI-

or directives that the chair may issue, as approved by the special disa-
bility fund advisory committee, or in the absence of such guidelines  or
directives,  using such discounting factors as the office determines are
in the financial interest of the special  disability  fund.  The  waiver
agreement management office on behalf of the special disability fund may
enter  into  a  waiver  agreement  with a claimant only when the special
disability fund has been found liable by  the  board  to  reimburse  the
claimant's  employer,  insurance  carrier  or  the state insurance fund.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, no consultation or approval
of any employer, insurance carrier, self-insurer[,] OR the state  insur-
ance  fund[,  or  the  special  funds  conservation  committee] shall be
required before such office may enter  into  any  waiver  agreement,  or
before  the  board  may approve such waiver agreement. The chair may, in
his or her discretion, and as approved by the  special  disability  fund
advisory  committee,  terminate  the  operation  of the waiver agreement

chair shall [create] MAINTAIN a fund to be known as the [group] self-in-
surer  [default]  offset  fund  and  such fund shall be held in the sole
custody of the chair. The chair may transfer the money in such  fund  to
the  administrative  account  as  necessary to effectuate the purpose of
this section. The chair shall use the money in the  fund  to  pay  UNMET
claims for [defaulted group] self-insurers[, where sufficient moneys for
such  payment  have  not  been  collected  or  are not anticipated to be
collected from members of a defaulted group self-insurer, or  to  offset
such  amount  against  any  assessment it would otherwise impose against
private individual and group self-insurers under paragraph (g) of subdi-
vision five of section fifty of this article].
  2. At any time prior to April first, two thousand  eleven,  the  chair
may  withdraw funds from the uninsured employers fund provided for under
section twenty-six-a of this chapter, up to such  amount  as  the  chair
determines  is sufficient to fund any anticipated additional expenses of
such fund, taking into account anticipated available revenues, but in no
event to exceed seventy-five million  dollars  in  the  aggregate.  Such
funds  shall be deposited into the [group] self-insurer offset fund, and
used in accordance with subdivision one of this section.  As  consistent

with  this  section, the chair may set the timing of such withdrawals in
its discretion.
  3.  Beginning  in  two thousand fifteen, and each year thereafter, the
chair shall add to the total of each annual assessment made under  para-
graph  g of subdivision five of section fifty of this article the sum of
up to three million dollars, to be allocated to private group and  indi-
vidual  self-insurers in accordance with such paragraph. The chair shall
assess additional funds under this paragraph as necessary to insure that
there are sufficient funds in the fund for uninsured employers  to  meet
its  liabilities, or if necessary in accordance with section one hundred
fifty-one of this chapter. Such funds as are collected pursuant to  this
subdivision  shall  be  deposited into the uninsured employer fund until
all funds withdrawn therefrom under subdivision one of this section  are
returned with interest calculated at an annual rate equal to the rate of
return on funds in the fund for uninsured employers from the prior year.
  4.  At such time as the board is not obligated to pay any UNMET claims
[arising out] of a [defaulted] self-insurer, the fund created under this
section shall be closed, and any money remaining in the  fund  shall  be
deposited into the uninsured employer fund.
  S 19. Subdivision 5 of section 52 of the workers' compensation law, as
amended  by  chapter  139  of  the  laws  of 2008, is amended to read as
follows:
  5. The chair, upon finding that an employer has failed for a period of
not less than ten consecutive days to make the provision for payment  of
compensation  required by section fifty of this article, may impose upon
such employer, in addition to all other penalties, fines or  assessments
provided  for  in  this chapter, a penalty of UP TO two thousand dollars
for each ten day period of non-compliance or a sum not in excess of  two
times  the  cost  of compensation for its payroll for the period of such
failure, which sum shall be paid  into  the  uninsured  employers'  fund
created  under  section  twenty-six-a  of this chapter. When an employer
fails to provide business records sufficient  to  enable  the  chair  to
determine the employer's payroll for the period requested for the calcu-
lation  of  the  penalty  provided  in  this section, the imputed weekly
payroll for each employee, corporate officer, sole proprietor, or  part-
ner  shall be the New York state average weekly wage, multiplied by 1.5.
Where the employer is a corporation, the president, secretary and treas-
urer thereof shall be liable for the  penalty.  If  the  employer  shall
within  thirty  days  after notice of the imposition of a penalty by the
chair pursuant to this subdivision make an application in affidavit form
for a redetermination review of such penalty the [chairman] CHAIR  shall
make a decision in writing on the issues raised on such application.

shall not be effective until at least ten days after a notice of cancel-
lation  of  such  contract, on a date specified in such notice, shall be

  Such  notice  shall be served on the employer by delivering it to him,
her or it or by sending it by mail, by certified or  registered  letter,
return  receipt  requested, addressed to the employer at his, her or its

nership, then such notice may be so given to any of one of the partners,
and if the employer be a corporation then the notice may be given to any
agent  or  officer  of  the  corporation  upon whom legal process may be
served; and further provided that an employer may designate  any  person
or  entity  at  any  address to receive such notice including the desig-
nation of one person or entity to receive notice on behalf  of  multiple
entities  insured  under one insurance policy and that service of notice
at the address so designated upon the person or entity so designated  by
delivery  or  by mail, by certified or registered letter, return receipt
requested,  shall  satisfy  the  notice  requirement  of  this  section.
Provided, however, the right to cancellation of a policy of insurance in

state insurance fund for non-payment of premium, OR FOR  NON-PAYMENT  OF
ASSESSMENTS  AS  REQUIRED  IN  THE  CONTRACT  OF INSURANCE, or withdraws

contract  for  a subsequent policy of insurance with the state insurance
fund while the billed premium on the  cancelled  policy  remains  uncol-
lected.
  c. The state insurance fund shall not be required to write a policy of
insurance  for any employer which is owned or controlled or the majority

sion two of] section two hundred thirty-two of this article.
  1.  [For  the purpose of accumulating funds for payment of benefits to
the disabled unemployed, there is hereby assessed a contribution at  the
rate of two-tenths of one per centum of the wages paid during the period
from  January  first, nineteen hundred fifty to June thirtieth, nineteen

employers  on or after January first, nineteen hundred fifty, but not in
excess of twelve cents per week as to each such employee, of  which  the
employee  shall  contribute one-tenth of one per centum of his wages but
not in excess of six cents per week, and  the  employer  shall  make  an
equal  contribution. The contributions of the employee shall be deducted
from his wages in the same manner as provided  in  section  two  hundred

fifty,  and  on or before July thirty-first, nineteen hundred fifty, the
employer shall pay to the chairman the  contributions  with  respect  to
wages  paid  during the quarterly period ending June thirtieth, nineteen
hundred fifty.
  2.] As promptly as practicable after April  first,  [nineteen  hundred
fifty-eight  and  thereafter annually as soon as practicable after April
first] in each year, the chairman shall ascertain the condition  of  the
fund, and if as of any such date the net assets of the fund shall be one
million  dollars  or  more  below the sum of twelve million dollars, the
chairman shall assess and collect [from all carriers hereinafter  speci-
fied]  an  amount  sufficient  to restore the fund to an amount equal to
twelve million dollars. [Carriers subject to this  assessment  shall  be
such  carriers  as shall have covered employees in employment during the
preceding three calendar years or any portion or portions  thereof.  The
proportion  of  the  total  assessment to be assessed upon and collected
from each carrier shall be that proportion thereof that the total of the
payrolls covered by such carrier during said three calendar years  bears
to  the  total  of all such payrolls covered by all such carriers during
said three calendar years, except that the term "payrolls" as used here-
in shall be deemed limited to the first seven thousand dollars of  earn-
ings  of  each  employee  during any calendar year and except that there

whom  plan benefits provided under this article are payable during unem-
ployment for a period not less than the period provided in  section  two
hundred  seven under an agreement between the employer or an association
of employers and an association of the employees which has been accepted
as a plan under section two hundred eleven. The chairman, before  making
an  assessment  as herein provided, shall give thirty days notice to all
such carriers, in the same manner provided in section two hundred  twen-
ty-eight,  that  an  itemized  statement of the condition of the fund is
open for inspection]. SUCH ASSESSMENT SHALL BE INCLUDED IN  THE  ASSESS-
MENT RATE ESTABLISHED PURSUANT TO SUBDIVISION TWO OF SECTION ONE HUNDRED
FIFTY-ONE  OF THIS CHAPTER. SUCH ASSESSMENTS SHALL BE DEPOSITED WITH THE
COMMISSIONER OF TAXATION AND FINANCE AND TRANSFERRED TO THE  BENEFIT  OF
SUCH  FUND UPON PAYMENT OF DEBT SERVICE, IF ANY, PURSUANT TO SECTION ONE
HUNDRED FIFTY-ONE OF THIS CHAPTER.
  [3.] 2. Whenever the net assets of the fund shall be less  than  three
million  dollars  and  the  disability claims currently being paid shall
indicate the necessity of supplementing the assets of the  fund  [before
the  next  annual  assessment can be made,] the chairman may [assess and
collect for all such carriers, in the same proportions  established  for
the  last  preceding  annual assessment,] TRANSFER FROM MONIES COLLECTED
PURSUANT TO SUBDIVISION TWO OF SECTION ONE  HUNDRED  FIFTY-ONE  OF  THIS
CHAPTER  an  amount sufficient in the discretion of the chairman for the
needs of the fund, but not in excess of an amount sufficient to  restore
the  fund  to  twelve million dollars. [Before making any such emergency
assessment the chairman shall give thirty days notice to  such  carriers
in  the  same manner as provided with respect to annual assessments, and
an itemized statement of the  condition  of  the  fund  shall,  in  like
manner, be open for inspection.]
  [4.]  3.  All  contributions  and assessments received by the chairman
under the provisions of this section shall be credited to the fund here-
in established and deposited by  the  chairman  to  the  credit  of  the
commissioner  of  taxation  and finance for the benefit of the fund. The
superintendent of financial services may examine into the  condition  of

PROCEEDS OF BONDS OR OF ANY  OTHER  FUNDS  OR  OBLIGATIONS  RECEIVED  ON
BEHALF  OF THE AUTHORITY TO FURNISH SUCH INDEMNIFYING BONDS OR TO PLEDGE
SUCH SECURITIES AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY  THE  AUTHORITY.  ANY  SUCH  TRUST
INDENTURE OR RESOLUTION MAY CONTAIN SUCH OTHER PROVISIONS AS THE AUTHOR-
ITY  MAY  DEEM  REASONABLE  AND  PROPER FOR PRIORITIES AND SUBORDINATION
AMONG THE OWNERS OF THE BONDS AND OTHER BENEFICIARIES. FOR  PURPOSES  OF

TY  MAY  INCLUDE WITHOUT LIMITATION CONTRACTS COMMONLY KNOWN AS INTEREST
RATE EXCHANGE OR SIMILAR AGREEMENTS, FORWARD PURCHASE CONTRACTS OR GUAR-
ANTEED INVESTMENT CONTRACTS  AND  FUTURES  OR  CONTRACTS  PROVIDING  FOR

AGREEMENT WHICH  SECURES  BONDS  OF  THE  AUTHORITY  OR  INVESTMENT,  OR
CONTRACT  PROVIDING FOR INVESTMENT OF RESERVES OR SIMILAR FACILITY GUAR-
ANTEEING AN INVESTMENT RATE FOR A PERIOD OF  YEARS  NOT  TO  EXCEED  THE
UNDERLYING TERM OF THE BONDS. THE DETERMINATION BY THE AUTHORITY THAT AN
ANCILLARY  BOND  FACILITY  OR  THE  AMENDMENT  OR TERMINATION THEREOF IS
NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE AS AFORESAID SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE. ANY ANCILLARY
BOND FACILITY MAY CONTAIN SUCH PAYMENT, SECURITY, DEFAULT,  REMEDY,  AND
TERMINATION  PROVISIONS  AND  PAYMENTS AND OTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS AS

S. 2605                            133                           A. 3005

BONDS,  THE HOLDERS OF TWENTY-FIVE PERCENT IN AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT
OF THE BONDS OF SUCH ISSUE THEN OUTSTANDING, BY  INSTRUMENT  OR  INSTRU-

RIGHT  TO  REQUIRE  THE  AUTHORITY  TO CARRY OUT ANY AGREEMENT WITH SUCH
HOLDERS AND TO PERFORM ITS DUTIES UNDER THIS SECTION;

BE MADE GOOD, THEN, WITH THE  CONSENT  OF  THE  HOLDERS  OF  TWENTY-FIVE
PERCENT  OF  THE  PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF SUCH BONDS THEN OUTSTANDING, ANNUL

DESIGN-BUILD-FINANCE  CONTRACT.   Such list shall consist of a specified
number of entities, as determined by an  authorized  state  entity,  and

record of compliance with the labor law, and such  other  qualifications
the  authorized state entity deems appropriate which may include but are
not limited to project understanding, financial capability and record of
past performance. The authorized state entity shall  evaluate  and  rate

of  this section.  To the extent consistent with applicable federal law,

such an entity consists of a team of  separate  entities,  the  entities
that comprise such a team must remain unchanged from the entity as list-

may  include, but shall not be limited to, the proposal's project imple-
mentation, ability to complete the work in  a  timely  and  satisfactory
manner, maintenance costs of the completed project, maintenance of traf-
fic  approach,  and  community  impact. Any contract awarded pursuant to
this act shall be awarded to a responsive and  responsible  entity  that
submits  the proposal, which, in consideration of these and other speci-
fied criteria deemed pertinent to the project, offers the best value  to
the  state, as determined by the authorized state entity. Nothing herein
shall be construed to prohibit the authorized  entity  from  negotiating
final contract terms and conditions including cost.

to permitting authorized state  entities  to  utilize  the  design-build
method for infrastructure projects, is amended to read as follows:
  S  12. The submission of a proposal or responses or the execution of a

with.

sion,  section  or  part  of  this act shall be adjudged by any court of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid, such judgment  shall  not  affect,
impair,  or  invalidate  the remainder thereof, but shall be confined in

or part thereof directly involved in the controversy in which such judg-
ment shall have been rendered. It is hereby declared to be the intent of

                                 PART G

  Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. The legislature finds that
local governments and school districts are facing increased stress  from
rising  costs  including  employee pension obligations.  Ultimately, the
growth in pension costs results in greater stress on the  already  over-
burdened taxpayer.
  It  is  the  intent  of the legislature to offer local governments and
school districts the option to lock-in to  a  long-term  stable  pension
contribution  rate. The intent is to provide local governments with more
stability and predictability for pension obligations,  while  simultane-
ously ensuring the adequacy of pension system funding.
  It  is  the intent of the legislature to authorize the comptroller and
the New York state teachers' retirement  system  board  to  establish  a
long-term  stable  contribution option assuming a baseline term of twen-
ty-five years.   If the comptroller and the  New  York  state  teachers'

S. 2605--A                         26                         A. 3005--A

retirement system board elect to implement this act, the comptroller and
the   New  York  state  teachers'  retirement  system  board,  at  their
discretion, will determine whether such baseline term shall be increased
or  decreased, as appropriate to ensure adequate pension system funding.
It is the intent of the legislature that the  comptroller  and  the  New
York   state   teachers'  retirement  system  board,  subject  to  their
discretion, strive to minimize any extension of such  baseline  term  or
terms,  to the extent possible, and to the extent an extension is neces-
sary, limit any extension of such baseline term or terms not  to  exceed
five  additional  years, to the extent possible, while ensuring adequate
pension system funding over the full term of this option.
  S 2. The retirement and social security law is amended by adding a new
section 17-e to read as follows:
  S 17-E. LONG-TERM STABLE CONTRIBUTION OPTION FOR PARTICIPATING MUNICI-
PAL EMPLOYERS FOR  THE  TWO  THOUSAND  THIRTEEN--TWO  THOUSAND  FOURTEEN

contribution" and a further percentage known as the "deficiency contrib-
ution." The rates per centum of such contributions shall be fixed on the
basis of the liabilities of the retirement system as shown by  actuarial
valuations;  PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  THAT THE RATE PER CENTUM OF THE NORMAL
CONTRIBUTION BE FIXED ON THE BASIS OF THE LIABILITIES OF THE  RETIREMENT
SYSTEM AS SHOWN BY ACTUARIAL VALUATIONS, EXCLUDING THE LIABILITIES ASSO-
CIATED  WITH  PARTICIPATING EDUCATIONAL EMPLOYERS AS DEFINED IN SUBPARA-

  FISCAL NOTE.--Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50:

S. 2605--A                         34                         A. 3005--A

  This  bill  would amend the Retirement and Social Security Law and the
Education Law as it pertains to bills for certain eligible employers  of
the New York State and Local Employees' Retirement System (ERS), the New
York  State  and Local Police and Fire Retirement System (PFRS), and the
Teachers' Retirement System (TRS).
  This  bill puts in place a program that allows ERS, PFRS and TRS local
government and school district employers, if they choose to participate,
to secure a long-term stable employer contribution rate instead  of  the
fluctuating  normal employer contribution rate applied to the employer's
pensionable wage base.   The Comptroller and the  TRS  Retirement  Board
will  determine the final length of the stable pension contribution term
by increasing or decreasing such  term  to  ensure  appropriate  pension
system  funding.  The  stable  pension  contribution  rates  would be 12
percent for ERS, 12.5 percent for TRS, and 18.5 percent for PFRS.  These
stable  pension  contribution  rates  could  be  increased, by up to two
percentage points, at the discretion of  the  Comptroller  and  the  TRS
Retirement  Board,  upon  evaluations  by System actuaries, five and ten
years after commencement of the long-term stable contribution option.
  If this bill is enacted, we estimate that there would be little or  no
impact  on  the  funded status of the ERS, PFRS and TRS systems over the
full term of the program.    For  those  local  governments  and  school
districts  which elect this option, employer pension contributions would
be less than the normal employer pension contributions they would other-
wise pay in the early years of the long-term  stable  employer  contrib-
ution  option  and employer pension contributions would be more than the
normal employer contributions they would  otherwise  pay  in  the  later
years of the option.
  This  estimate,  dated  January  22,  2013,  and intended for use only
during the 2013 Legislative Session, is prepared by  the  State  of  New
York Division of the Budget.

                                 PART H

  Section  1.  Section  167-a  of  the  civil service law, as amended by

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 STANDARD MEDICARE premium charge WITHOUT ANY INCOME-RELATED
ADJUSTMENT  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, employee, retired
employee and dependent  contributions  to  the  health  insurance  fund,

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  employees  and
retired  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  corporations  or
other  quasi-public organizations of the state shall remain obligated to
pay no less than its share of such increased cost  consistent  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.

  Section 1. Notwithstanding any provision of law to the  contrary,  any
provision  of  statute or regulation that requires a local government or
school district to submit a report to a state agency or  authority  that
has  not been approved for continuation by the mandate relief council as
provided herein shall expire and be deemed repealed on  April  1,  2014;
provided,  however, that all provisions of such statutes and regulations
other than such specific reporting requirements shall be  unaffected  by
the  repeal  of such reporting requirements and remain in full force and
effect. Every state agency and authority  shall  refer  to  the  mandate
relief council, on or before September 1, 2013, all local government and
school  district  reporting  requirements,  imposed  by statute or regu-
lation, and which of these reporting requirements, in the opinion of the
agency or authority, are necessary and should be continued because  such
reporting requirements are (1) required for compliance with federal laws
or  rules or to meet eligibility standards for federal entitlements; (2)
required for the protection of the health,  safety  or  welfare  of  the
public;  or (3) are otherwise necessary for critical state purposes. The
council shall review such requests to determine whether such reports are
necessary and should be continued. Upon a determination that a reporting
requirement is necessary and should be continued, the council may direct
the agency or authority to take actions to reduce the burden the report-
ing requirement imposes on local governments and school districts.

relief council shall notify the  legislative  bill  drafting  commission
which  reporting  requirements  were  referred to it and which reporting
requirements were approved for continuation so that such commission  may

of the laws of the state of New York in  furtherance  of  effecting  the
provisions  of section 44 of the legislative law and section 70-b of the
public officers law.
