 AN  ACT  to  exclude certain musicians or persons who had a work-related
   accident on December 17, 2011 who are an executive officer of a corpo-
   ration who contracts for the musician or person's  services  from  the

   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. Notwithstanding the fourth undesignated paragraph of subdi-
 vision  4  of  section  2  of the workers' compensation law or any other
 provision of law to the contrary, for purposes of the  workers'  compen-
 sation  law,  the term "employee" shall not include a musician or person
 who is an executive officer of a corporation who contracts for the musi-
 cian or person's services, and who if not a musician or person otherwise
 engaged in performing arts would be deemed excluded from coverage  under
 paragraphs  (c)  and  e  of  subdivision 6 of section 54 of the workers'
 compensation law and who is not a musician or officer who elects  to  be
 covered under paragraphs (c) and e of subdivision 6 of section 54 of the
 workers'  compensation  law  and who has a date of workplace accident on
 December 17, 2011 and whereby there is no  workers'  compensation  claim
 established  as  compensable by the workers' compensation board that was
 filed by the musician or person for such accident.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately and shall  only  apply  to
 any  cases,  matters  or proceedings pending on such date, or which have
 not been finally adjudicated on such date; provided, however, that  this
 act  shall  expire  two  years  after  such effective date; and provided
 further that the expiration of this act shall not  apply  to  any  case,
 matter,  or proceeding authorized by this act which has not been finally
 adjudicated on or before such expiration date.
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
