SCHIMMINGER, ZEBROWSKI -- read once and referred to the Committee on Governmental Operations AN ACT to amend the state administrative procedure act, in relation to improving evaluations of the potential impact of rules on jobs and employment opportunities THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Section 201-a of the state administrative procedure act, as added by chapter 189 of the laws of 1996, paragraph (g) of subdivision 2 as amended by chapter 304 of the laws of 2016, is amended to read as follows: § 201-a. Job impact. 1. In developing a rule, an agency shall strive to accomplish the objectives of applicable statutes in a manner which minimizes any unnecessary adverse impacts on existing jobs and promotes the development of new employment opportunities, including opportunities for self-employment, for the residents of the state. 2. Before proposing a rule for adoption or adopting a rule on an emer- gency basis, an agency shall evaluate the potential impact of the rule on jobs and employment opportunities. (a) When it is apparent from the nature and purpose of the rule that it will not have a substantial adverse impact on jobs and employment opportunities, the agency shall include in the notice of proposed rule making or the notice of emergency adoption a statement that the agency has determined that the rule will not have a substantial adverse impact on jobs and employment opportunities; provided, however, that, where appropriate, such statement shall indicate that the agency has deter- mined the rule will have a positive impact on jobs and employment oppor- tunities, or will have no impact on jobs and employment opportunities. Except where it is evident from the subject matter of the rule that the rule could only have a positive impact or no impact on jobs and employ- ment opportunities, the agency shall include in the statement prepared EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
LBD08906-01-9 A. 6747 2 pursuant to this paragraph a summary of the information and methodology underlying its determination. (b) When it is apparent from the nature and purpose of the rule that it may have a substantial adverse impact on jobs or employment opportu- nities, the agency shall issue a job impact statement which contains information on: (i) the nature of the impact the rule will have on jobs and employment opportunities; (ii) the categories of jobs or employment opportunities affected by the rule; (iii) the approximate number of jobs or employment opportunities affected in each category; (iv) any region of the state where the rule would have a dispropor- tionate adverse impact on jobs or employment opportunities; and (v) any measures which the agency [has taken] OR OTHER STATE AGENCIES HAVE TAKEN OR COULD TAKE to minimize any unnecessary adverse impacts on existing jobs and to promote the development of new employment opportu- nities. (c) When the information available to an agency is insufficient to enable it to determine whether a rule will have a substantial adverse impact on jobs or employment opportunities, or to prepare a job impact statement pursuant to paragraph (b) of this subdivision, the agency shall issue a statement indicating the information which it needs to complete a job impact statement and requesting the assistance of other state agencies and the public in obtaining such information. (d) An agency shall issue a revised job impact statement when: (i) [the] IT IS NECESSARY TO CORRECT OR SUPPLEMENT information presented in the PREVIOUS statement [is] THAT WAS inadequate or incom- plete; (ii) the proposed rule contains any substantial revisions which neces- sitate that such statement be modified; or (iii) the agency has issued a statement pursuant to paragraph (c) of this subdivision, and has received information from other state agencies or the public which enable it to provide a more complete evaluation of the potential impact of the rule on jobs and employment opportunities. (e) If, after requesting the assistance of other state agencies and the public pursuant to paragraph (c) of this subdivision, an agency is still unable to determine whether the rule will have a substantial adverse impact on jobs and employment opportunities, it may adopt the rule. When adopting a rule pursuant to this paragraph, the agency shall issue a revised job impact statement which includes information on the measures the agency took to evaluate the potential impact of the rule on jobs and employment opportunities. NO RULE MAY BE ADOPTED PURSUANT TO THIS PARAGRAPH IF IT IS THE SUBJECT OF A STATEMENT OF CONCURRENCE PURSU- ANT TO SUBDIVISION THREE OF THIS SECTION UNTIL THE REQUIREMENTS OF SUBDIVISION THREE OF THIS SECTION HAVE BEEN MET. (f) When adopting a rule on an emergency basis, an agency may defer the issuance of any statement pursuant to this section, provided that the statement is published in the state register within thirty days of the effective date of the emergency rule. (g) When any statement issued pursuant to this section exceeds two thousand words, the agency shall prepare a summary of such statement in less than two thousand words for publication in the state register in which it shall identify the website of the agency, or of another state entity, on which the full text of the statement has been posted. A. 6747 3 (h) An agency may consider a series of closely related and simultane- ously proposed rules as one rule for the purpose of submitting a consol- idated job impact statement. (i) Where a rule would have a measurable impact on opportunities for self-employment, the agency shall include a discussion of such impact in any statement prepared pursuant to this section. (J) AN AGENCY SHALL MAKE AVAILABLE THE METHODOLOGY AND DATA OR DATA SOURCES USED TO PREPARE ANY STATEMENT ISSUED PURSUANT TO PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SUBDIVISION. 3. (a) The commissioner of labor and the commissioner of economic development may review any statement issued pursuant to this section, and may consult informally with any agency preparing such a statement and advise it on the potential impact of a rule on jobs and employment opportunities. (b) When the commissioner of labor and the commissioner of economic development concur in a determination that additional evaluation of the potential impact of a proposed rule on jobs and employment opportunities is needed to assist in the minimization of any unnecessary adverse impacts of the rule on jobs or employment opportunities, they shall issue a statement of concurrence and transmit a copy of such statement to the agency and to the secretary of state for publication in the state register. The statement of concurrence shall: (i) identify each proposed rule which is the subject of the statement of concurrence; (ii) set forth the basis for the determination that additional evalu- ation of the potential impact of the rule is needed to assist in the minimization of any unnecessary adverse impacts on jobs or employment opportunities, and, where relevant, identify each aspect of the job impact statement which is incomplete or deficient; (iii) include appropriate recommendations for additional evaluation of the impact of the rule or of any measures which the agency should consider to minimize any adverse impacts of the rule on jobs or employ- ment opportunities; and (iv) specify a time period of not more than ninety days for the agency to perform such additional evaluation or consider such recommendations. (c) An agency shall strive to perform such additional evaluation or consider such measures as are recommended in a statement of concurrence within the time period set forth therein. No agency shall adopt the rule which is the subject of the statement of concurrence until: (i) the agency has performed the additional evaluation or considered the measures recommended in the statement of concurrence, and has issued a revised job impact statement, which is acceptable to the commissioners of economic development and labor, setting forth any changes which it will make to the rule to minimize any adverse impacts on jobs or employ- ment opportunities; or (ii) after the expiration of the time period set forth in the state- ment of concurrence. (d) The statement of concurrence shall be considered public comment for the purpose of this article and shall be summarized and analyzed in any assessment of public comment. 4.
