RODRIGUEZ -- read once and referred to the Committee on Judiciary AN ACT to amend the civil practice law and rules, in relation to enact- ing the "local government jobs and revenue protection act of 2017" THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. This act shall be known and may be cited as the "local government jobs and revenue protection act of 2017." § 2. Legislative intent. New York state, New York city and county governments throughout the state are the recipients of hundred of millions of dollars each year under the master settlement agreement. The total of all master settlement payments to these governments over the years has so far exceeded fourteen billion dollars. These funds are vitally important and any disruption in these payments would put the recipients at financial risk. The legislature hereby finds that it is in the public interest to enact the "local government jobs and revenue protection act of 2017" in order to continue the flow of these funds to the state and local governments which depend on this revenue during the appeal of a judgement against master settlement agreement signatories, affiliates, successors and non-participating manufacturers. § 3. The civil practice law and rules is amended by adding a new section 5519-a to read as follows: § 5519-A. STAY OF ENFORCEMENT FOR TOBACCO PRODUCT MASTER SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT PARTICIPATING OR NON-PARTICIPATING MANUFACTURERS OR THEIR SUCCESSORS OR AFFILIATES. (A) IN CIVIL LITIGATION UNDER ANY LEGAL THEORY INVOLVING A PARTICIPATING MANUFACTURER OR A NON-PARTICIPATING MANUFAC- TURER, AS THOSE TERMS ARE DEFINED IN THE MASTER SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT, OR ANY OF THEIR SUCCESSORS OR AFFILIATES, THE UNDERTAKING REQUIRED DURING THE PENDENCY OF ALL APPEALS OR DISCRETIONARY REVIEWS BY ANY APPELLATE COURTS IN ORDER TO STAY THE EXECUTION OF ANY JUDGMENT OR ORDER GRANTING LEGAL, EQUITABLE OR OTHER RELIEF DURING THE ENTIRE COURSE OF APPELLATE EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
