 AN ACT to amend the labor law, in  relation  to  establishing  the  task

   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. The labor law is amended by adding a new section 44 to read
 as follows:
   § 44. TASK FORCE ON JOBS AND THE NEW ECONOMY. 1. THE LEGISLATURE HERE-
 BY FINDS AND DECLARES THAT THE JOBS  OF  THE  TWENTY-FIRST  CENTURY  ARE
 OFTEN  CREATED  OUTSIDE THE CONTEXT OF TRADITIONAL EMPLOYMENT. LABOR AND
 EMPLOYMENT LAWS HAVE LAGGED THE DEVELOPMENT OF THESE NEW ECONOMIC OPPOR-
 TUNITIES, LEADING TO A DECLINE IN THE EFFECTIVENESS OF  THE  LEGISLATIVE
 REGIME THAT PROVIDES BASIC STANDARDS FOR DECENT WORKING CONDITIONS.  THE
 LEGISLATURE  FURTHER  FINDS THAT A TASK FORCE IS NECESSARY TO REVIEW AND
 ASSESS STATE LAWS AND POLICIES TO DETERMINE WHETHER AND HOW THE LEGISLA-
 TURE SHOULD REVISE CURRENT LAWS TO BETTER PROTECT WORKERS' RIGHTS WITHIN
 NEW ECONOMIC SECTORS, HELPING TO BALANCE JOB GROWTH,  ECONOMIC  OPPORTU-
 NITY, AND WORKPLACE PROTECTIONS.
   2.  A  TASK  FORCE  ON  JOBS AND THE NEW ECONOMY IS HEREBY ESTABLISHED
 WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT TO:
   (A) EXAMINE THE NATURE OF NEWLY CREATED JOBS AND ECONOMIC  SECTORS  IN
 THE  TWENTY-FIRST  CENTURY,  INCLUDING  ON-DEMAND  EMPLOYMENT  AND  JOBS
 RELATED TO OR CREATED BY ELECTRONIC APPLICATION MARKETPLACES;
   (B) REVIEW EXISTING LAWS AND REGULATIONS AS THEY PERTAIN TO EMPLOYERS,
 EMPLOYEES, AND THE NEW ECONOMY;
   (C) ASSESS STATE LAWS ON COLLECTIVE BARGAINING IN THE  PRIVATE  SECTOR
 AND  WHETHER  THE PUBLIC RELATIONS BOARD AS DEFINED IN ARTICLE TWENTY OF
 THIS CHAPTER CAN AND SHOULD EXERCISE JURISDICTION OVER  WORKERS  IN  NEW
 ECONOMIC SECTORS;
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
