2021-S6990 (ACTIVE) - Sponsor Memo

                                
 
BILL NUMBER: S6990

SPONSOR: BROUK
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend subpart A of part BB of chapter 56 of the laws of 2021,
constituting the COVID-19 emergency rental assistance program act of
2021, in relation to incorporating provisions of the COVID-19 emergency
rental assistance program of 2021 into municipal corporation emergency
rental assistance programs

 
PURPOSE:

This bill would authorize municipal corporations, as defined paragraph 6
of § 2 of the COVID-19 Emergency Rental Assistance Program of 2021
(CERAP), to incorporate certain enforcement provisions of CERAP into
municipal emergency rental assistance programs.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section one amends § 1 of Subpart A of Part BB of Chapter 56 of the laws

2021 to add a new § 15 to provide that a municipal corporation may
incorporate the provisions of sections 8, 9, 10, or 11 of CERAP into
such municipal corporation's emergency rental assistance program. Refer-
ences to the "commissioner" in such sections shall be deemed to be
references to the chief executive officer of the municipal corporation
operating a municipal corporation sponsored emergency rental assistance
program.

Section two provides that the bill shall be effective immediately and
shall expire and be deemed repealed at the same time as the provisions
of Sub-part A of Part BB of chapter 56 of the laws of 2021 expire and
are deemed repealed.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

The municipal corporations covered by this act are administering emer-
gency rental assistance programs with federal stimulus funds. The condi-
tions included in the CERAP provide important tenant benefits.  These
conditions, however, are applicable only to the state-sponsored emergen-
cy rental assistance program. The purpose of this bill is to provide the
municipal corporations with the option of incorporating the relevant
provisions into the municipal programs.

 
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

New bill.

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

None to the State.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately and shall expire and be deemed
repealed at the same time as the provisions of Sub-part A of part BB of
Chapter 56 of the laws of 2021 expire and are deemed repealed.

 BY ITS CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER MAY INCORPORATE THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION
 8, 9, 10 OR 11 OF THIS ACT INTO SUCH MUNICIPAL  CORPORATION'S  EMERGENCY
 RENTAL   ASSISTANCE  PROGRAM.  SUCH  INCORPORATED  PROVISIONS  SHALL  BE
 ENFORCEABLE IN THE SAME MANNER AND THE SAME EXTENT AS THE PROVISIONS  OF
 THIS ACT. REFERENCES TO THE "COMMISSIONER" IN ANY OF SUCH SECTIONS SHALL
 BE DEEMED TO BE REFERENCES TO THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF A MUNICIPAL
 CORPORATION OPERATING A MUNICIPAL CORPORATION SPONSORED EMERGENCY RENTAL
 ASSISTANCE PROGRAM.
   §  2.  This act shall take effect immediately; provided, however, that
 the amendments to subpart A of part BB of chapter 56 of the laws of 2021
 made by section one of this act shall not  affect  the  repeal  of  such
 section and shall be deemed repealed therewith.
