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:

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                           LBD09308-01-3
