 Introduced  by  Sen.  RANZENHOFER -- read twice and ordered printed, and
   when printed to be committed to the Committee on Transportation
 
 AN ACT to amend the public authorities law, in relation to the  term  of
   appointment  for the non-voting member recommended by the labor organ-
   ization representing the plurality of employees within  the  authority
   to the board of the Niagara Frontier transportation authority
 
   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  1299-c  of  the
 public  authorities  law, as amended by chapter 220 of the laws of 2012,
 is amended to read as follows:
   (b) The first non-voting member of the  authority  who  shall  not  be
 considered in determining a quorum, shall be recommended to the governor
 by  the  labor  organization representing the plurality of the employees
 within the authority and shall be a resident  of  the  Niagara  Frontier
 transportation  district  as described in section twelve hundred ninety-
 nine-b of this title. Such first non-voting member  shall  be  appointed
 for a term of [eight] FIVE years, provided, however, that if at any time
 during  the  term  of  appointment  such  non-voting member ceases to be
 affiliated with the labor organization  representing  the  plurality  of
 employees  within the authority, then such labor organization may at any
 time during such term recommend a new member to the governor  who  shall
 serve  the  remainder of the term. If the local bargaining unit decerti-
 fies its existing union affiliation and certifies a new union, the union
 which represents the plurality of the  employees  may  recommend  a  new
 member  to  the governor who shall serve the remainder of the term.  The
 chairman of the authority, at his or her discretion,  may  exclude  such
 non-voting member from attending any portion of a meeting of the author-
 ity  or of any committee held for the purpose of discussing negotiations
 with labor organizations, pending litigation involving the labor  organ-
 ization, or the investigation, evaluation, or discipline of an employee.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
