AN ACT to amend the labor law, in relation to referees' hearings  relat-
  ing  to unemployment insurance benefits involving the commercial goods
  transportation industry

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

  Section  1. Paragraph (b) of subdivision 1 of section 620 of the labor
law, as amended by chapter 554 of the laws of 2010, is amended  to  read
as follows:
  (b) When the initial determination of a claim for benefits, upon which
a  hearing  has been requested, involves the question whether any person
is or was an employer within the meaning of this article and is  or  was
liable for the payment of contributions under this article, or the ques-
tion whether an employer has fully complied with the obligations imposed
by  this  article,  written notice of the hearing shall be given to such
persons or employer, either personally or by mail, and thereupon he, she
or such employer shall be deemed a party to the proceeding, entitled  to
be  heard.  Upon  such  notice  having  been given, the referee may then
decide such question or questions and any other issue  related  thereto,
and,  EXCEPT  FOR  CASES  INVOLVING  THE COMMERCIAL GOODS TRANSPORTATION
INDUSTRY, AS DEFINED IN ARTICLE TWENTY-FIVE-C OF THIS  CHAPTER,  his  or
her  decision shall not be deemed limited in its effect to the immediate
claimant making the claim for benefits but shall  be  deemed  a  general
determination  of  such  questions with respect to all those employed by
such person or employer  FOR  ALL  OF  THE  PURPOSES  OF  THIS  ARTICLE,
PROVIDED  THAT  THE  FACTS  AND  CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE OTHERS TO WHOM THE
DETERMINATION SHALL APPLY ARE THE SAME FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES AS  THOSE
IN THE CLAIM BROUGHT BY THE CLAIMANT, for all the purposes of this arti-
cle[,  and such]. SUCH decision shall be conclusive and binding upon the
claimant and such person or employer, subject, however, to the right  to
appeal hereinafter provided.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
