                                 BILL NUMBER:  S6282

 TITLE OF BILL :

An act to amend the public service law and the general business law,
in relation to call centers

 PURPOSE :

This bill relates to certain companies that operate and maintain call
centers.

 SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS :

Section 1 amends the Public Service Law by adding a new subdivision
16.

Section 2 amends the General Business Law by adding a new section
399-yyy.

Section 3 sets forth the effective date.

 JUSTIFICATION :

Call centers are a major economic force in the United States,
employing about 4 million people, or 3 percent of the U.S. workforce.

In recent years, the United States has lost at least 500,000 call
center jobs, as businesses have opted to relocate out of the country.
In addition to limiting employment opportunities for struggling
families, the use of foreign call centers has the potential to
jeopardize personal confidential information. By requiring notice and
a hearing before the public service commission before a
telecommunication company is permitted to close or relocate a call
center, this legislation will provide an opportunity for a full public
discussion of the impacts that such closure might have on the works,
and will help to ensure that New York jobs are protected. By
incentivizing companies to open new call centers in New York State,
this bill will be an engine for economic growth in the state, and by
penalizing companies that send job out of state or offshore, the bill
ensures that jobs are protected.

 LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :

2013: A.7144-C

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :

To be determined.

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This act shall take effect immediately.
