2017-S5257 (ACTIVE) - Sponsor Memo

                                 BILL NUMBER:  S5257

 TITLE OF BILL :  An act to amend chapter 929 of the laws of 1986
amending the tax law and other laws relating to the metropolitan
transportation authority, in relation to extending certain provisions
thereof applicable to the resolution of labor disputes

 PURPOSE OF THE BILL :

This bill will extend for two years, from July 1, 2017 to July 1,
2019, certain provisions of Tax Law and other laws scheduled to
expire, which authorize the oversight of binding arbitration by the
Public Employment Relations Board (PERB) between the Metropolitan
Transportation Authority (MTA) and its labor representatives in order
to promote settlements and avoid disruptions in transit service.

Effective immediately, this bill extends the authorization for the
PERB to engage the following parties in binding interest arbitration
if labor negotiations fail: The Metropolitan Transportation Authority,
including its subsidiary, the NYC Transit Authority; The Triborough
Bridge and Tunnel Authority; and the public employee organizations
certified or recognized to represent the majority of employees from
the above-mentioned public authorities.

 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :

Section 1 would amend section 45 of Chapter 929 of the Laws of 1986 to
extend the July 1, 2017 sunset provision to July 1, 2019.

Section 2 would make the bill effective immediately.

 JUSTIFICATION :

Compulsory arbitration has promoted the resolution of labor management
disputes in furtherance of uninterrupted service on the MTA transit
system and its bridges and tunnels. Evaluations of the effects of this
law have historically been positive. This will extend this provision
for an additional two years.

 PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :

The sunset provision in question has been extended every two years;
specifically, by Chapter 28 of the Laws of 2015, Chapter 72 of the
Laws of 2013, Chapter 105 of the Laws of 2011, Chapter 93 of the Laws
of 2009, Chapter 168 of the Laws of 2007, Chapter 46 of the Laws of
2005, Chapter 111 of the Laws of 2003, Chapter 81 of the Laws of 2001
and Chapter 150 of the Laws of 1999.

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :

This bill would have no direct impact on the state's budget.

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
The bill would take effect immediately.
