TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the general municipal law, in relation
to prohibiting industrial development agencies from incentivizing move-

financial assistance to a company to lure it from one part of New York
to another.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section 1: Amends subdivision 1 of section 862 of the general municipal
law to tighten the existing prohibition on IDAs giving assistance to
projects that simply move jobs or facilities from one part of the state
to another.

(1) No funds of the agency shall be used in respect of any project if
the completion thereof would result in the removal of [an industrial or
manufacturing] ANY plant, FACILITY OR PERSONNEL of the project occupant
from one area of the state to another area of the state [or], in the
abandonment of one or more plants or facilities of the project occupant
located within the state OR THE UNEMPLOYMENT OR RELOCATION OF ANY
PERSONNEL WHO ARE EMPLOYED BY THE PROJECT OCCUPANT, provided, however,
that neither restriction shall apply if the agency shall determine on
the basis of the application before it that the project is reasonably
necessary to discourage the project occupant from removing such other
plant or facility to a location outside the state [or is reasonably
necessary to preserve the competitive position of the project occupant
in its respective industry].
§ 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
