                                 BILL NUMBER:  S5639

 TITLE OF BILL :  An act to amend the legislative law, in relation to
fiscal notes on retirement bills

 PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL :

The purpose of this bill is to require timely processing of fiscal
note requests.

 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :

Section one of this bill amends section 50 of the Legislative Law to
add paragraphs 2 and 3. Paragraph 2 requires a retirement system or
plan of the State or of any its political subdivisions to provide a
fiscal note to the requestor by ten business days.

Paragraph 3 provides the retirement system or plan of the State or of
any its political subdivisions shall reimburse the cost of obtaining
the fiscal note If the ten business days expire and the requestor is
forced to obtain a fiscal note from an outside source.

Section two of this bill provides that this act shall take effect
immediately

 EXISTING LAW :

There is no requirement for a retirement system or plan of the State
or of any its political subdivisions to provide a fiscal note to the
requestor in a timely fashion.

 JUSTIFICATION :

Currently, a New York State legislator can wait anywhere from one week
to months before receiving a fiscal note from a retirement system or
plan of the State or of any its political subdivisions. There have
been instances when a requested fiscal note has never been received.
This current situation is not just frustrating; it is an unnecessary
obstacle to the introduction of legislation.

Without requiring fiscal notes to be completed and returned to the
requestor within a specific period of time, there is no way to ensure
that a requested fiscal note will be received in time for the
legislation to be introduced, a home rule, if necessary, to be
received, and the legislation to be considered by the Legislature.

 PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :

New bill.

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :

To be determined.

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This act shall take effect immediately.
