BILL NUMBER: S5202

SPONSOR: GOUNARDES
 
TITLE OF BILL:  An act directing a study on the impact of increased
minimum wage on eligibility for income-based services, programs and
subsidies

 
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

This bill requires a study to be performed and a report to be produced
on the effects of increased minimum wage on the working poor's eligibil-
ity for critical and relied upon social services, programs and subsi-
dies.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section one of the bill describes a group of participating commissioners
of State departments, divisions and agencies that will perform the study
and that will work together to create the extensive report. The Section
also outlines the required elements of the report as including the
effects on eligibility and the reduction of benefits of income-based

social services, programs and subsidies currently received by the work-
ing poor in New York State. The report is also required to include an
examination of the impact of increased wages and the increase's ability
to cover the cost of potentially lost services, programs and subsidies.

Section two of the bill requires the commissioners to publish the report
to the Governor, the temporary President of the Senate, the Speaker of
the Assembly and the minority leaders of both the Senate and the Assem-
bly.

Section three of the bill sets the effective date as immediately.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

It is the State's responsibility to protect and to ensure that working
class New Yorkers are not harmed by legislative action. Furthermore, in
a time when the State of New York is tackling the issues of poverty and
of a living wage for the working class, it is essential to make sure
that any extrinsic services, programs and subsidies related to or
involved with the State are carefully examined to not negate the
purposes of raising the minimum wage. New York is a State focused on
prosperity for all and the study and report required by this bill - will
advance that ideal by making sure that the State is helping families
more than hindering their financial and personal growth.

 
PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

New Bill.

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

None.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
The act shall take effect immediately once it will have become a law.
