 wage  differential for a work shift other [than a normal day shift] than
 that which is paid to employees in the same occupation [for a normal day
 shift], [he] THE DIRECTOR may, subject to the approval of  the  director
 of  the budget, authorize a pay differential to be paid to those employ-
 ees in positions in the same or related occupations in the state service

 equivalent work shift, on a statewide basis, provided however, where the

 practices would warrant a shift differential for employees in a  partic-
 ular  occupation  then the director may grant a work shift pay differen-
 tial for such employees, subject to the approval of the director of  the
 budget.  In  determining  whether  to  authorize  a pay differential the

 ry,  AN  HOURLY  RATE,  AN ANNUAL RATE, or a fixed dollar amount per pay
 period, as prescribed in each case by the director of the classification
 and compensation division subject to approval of  the  director  of  the
 budget.  Such differential shall be paid in addition to and shall not be
 part of an employee's basic annual  salary,  and  shall  not  affect  or
 impair any performance advancement payments, performance awards, longev-
 ity  payments  or  other  rights or benefits to which an employee may be
 entitled under the provisions of this chapter, provided,  however,  that

 by the director of the classification and compensation division with the

 authorized  pursuant to this subdivision. The director of the budget may
 adopt such regulations as [he may  deem]  necessary  to  carry  out  the
 provisions of this subdivision.

 service  of the refunding or repayment bonds, notes or other obligations

 gations  so  refunded  or  repaid,  shall be calculated by utilizing the
 effective interest rate of the refunding or repayment  bonds,  notes  or
 other  obligations,  which shall be that rate arrived at by doubling the
 semi-annual  interest  rate  (compounded  semi-annually)  necessary   to
 discount  the debt service payments on the refunding or repayment bonds,
 notes or other obligations from the payment dates thereof to the date of
 issue of the refunding or repayment bonds, notes  or  other  obligations
 and  to  the  price bid including estimated accrued interest or proceeds
 received by the authority including estimated accrued interest from  the
 sale  thereof. Such bonds, other than bonds issued to refund outstanding
 bonds, shall be scheduled to mature over a term not to exceed the  aver-
 age useful life, as certified by the facilities development corporation,
 of  the  projects  for which the bonds are issued, and in any case shall
 not exceed thirty years  and  the  maximum  maturity  of  notes  or  any
 renewals  thereof  shall  not  exceed  five  years  from the date of the
 original issue of such notes. Notwithstanding  the  provisions  of  this
 section,  the  agency  shall  have the power and is hereby authorized to
 issue mental health services facilities improvement bonds and/or  mental
 health  services  facilities  improvement  notes  to  refund outstanding
 mental hygiene improvement bonds authorized to be issued pursuant to the
 provisions of section 47-b of the private housing finance  law  and  the
 amount  of  bonds  issued  or outstanding for such purposes shall not be
 included for purposes of determining the amount of bonds issued pursuant
 to this section. The director of the budget shall allocate the aggregate
 principal authorized to be issued by the  agency  among  the  office  of

 COMMISSION COPIES OF THE FULL INVESTIGATIVE FILE AND HEARING RECORD.
   (II) WITH RESPECT TO THE INVESTIGATION OF ANY INDIVIDUAL WHO IS NOT  A
 MEMBER  OF  THE  LEGISLATURE  OR A LEGISLATIVE EMPLOYEE OR CANDIDATE FOR
 MEMBER OF THE LEGISLATURE, IF AFTER ITS INVESTIGATION  AND  DUE  PROCESS
 HEARING,  THE  COMMISSION HAS FOUND A SUBSTANTIAL BASIS TO CONCLUDE THAT

 FINDINGS  OF  FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW TO THE RESPONDENT. THE COMMIS-
 SION SHALL PUBLISH SUCH REPORT ON ITS WEBSITE WITHIN TWENTY DAYS OF  ITS

 undue hardship no further extension of time will be granted;
   f. Promulgate guidelines to assist appointing authorities in determin-
 ing  which  persons hold policy-making positions for purposes of section
 seventy-three-a of the public officers law and may promulgate guidelines
 to assist firms, associations and corporations  in  separating  affected
 persons  from  net  revenues  for purposes of subdivision ten of section
 seventy-three of the public officers law, and promulgate  guidelines  to
 assist  any  firm,  association  or  corporation in which any present or
 former statewide elected official, state officer or employee, member  of
 the  legislature or legislative employee, or political party chairman is
 a member, associate, retired  member,  of  counsel  or  shareholder,  in

 S. 8005                            72                            A. 9005
 
 delegate  all  or  part  of  the  review  function relating to financial
 disclosure  statements  filed  by  legislative  employees  pursuant   to
 sections seventy-three and seventy-three-a of the public officers law to
 the  executive  director  who  shall be responsible for completing staff
 review of such statements in a manner consistent with the terms  of  the
 commission's delegation;
   i.  Upon  written request from any person who is subject to the juris-
 diction of the commission and  the  requirements  of  sections  seventy-
 three,  seventy-three-a  and  seventy-four  of  the public officers law,
 render formal advisory opinions on the requirements of said  provisions.
 A  formal  written  opinion rendered by the commission, until and unless
 amended or revoked, shall be binding on the legislative  ethics  commis-
 sion  in  any  subsequent proceeding concerning the person who requested
 the opinion and who acted in good  faith,  unless  material  facts  were
 omitted  or misstated by the person in the request for an opinion.  Such
 opinion may also be relied upon by such person, and  may  be  introduced
 and  shall  be  a  defense  in any criminal or civil action. The [joint]
 INDEPENDENT commission on [public] ethics  AND  LOBBYING  IN  GOVERNMENT
 shall  not  investigate  an  individual  for potential violations of law
 based upon conduct approved and covered in its entirety by such an opin-
 ion, except that such opinion shall not prevent or preclude an  investi-
 gation of and report to the legislative ethics commission concerning the
 conduct of the person who obtained it by the [joint] INDEPENDENT commis-
 sion  on  [public]  ethics  AND LOBBYING IN GOVERNMENT for violations of
 section seventy-three, seventy-three-a or  seventy-four  of  the  public
 officers  law  to  determine  whether  the  person  accurately and fully
 represented to the legislative ethics commission the facts  relevant  to
 the  formal  advisory opinion and whether the person's conduct conformed
 to those factual representations. The [joint] INDEPENDENT commission  ON
 ETHICS  AND  LOBBYING  IN  GOVERNMENT shall be authorized and shall have
 jurisdiction to investigate potential violations of the law arising from
 conduct outside of the scope of the terms of the advisory opinion; and
   j. Issue and publish  generic  advisory  opinions  covering  questions
 frequently  posed  to  the commission, or questions common to a class or
 defined category of persons, or that will tend to  prevent  undue  repe-
 tition  of  requests  or  undue  complication, and which are intended to
 provide general guidance and  information  to  persons  subject  to  the
 commission's jurisdiction;
   k.  Develop educational materials and training with regard to legisla-
 tive ethics for members of the  legislature  and  legislative  employees
 including  an online ethics orientation course for newly-hired employees
 and, as requested by the senate or the assembly, materials and  training
 in relation to a comprehensive ethics training program; and
   l.  Prepare an annual report to the governor and legislature summariz-
 ing the activities of the commission during the previous year and recom-
 mending any changes in the laws governing the conduct of persons subject
 to the jurisdiction of the commission, or  the  rules,  regulations  and
 procedures   governing  the  commission's  conduct.  Such  report  shall
 include: (i) a listing by assigned number of each complaint  and  report
 received  from the [joint] INDEPENDENT commission on [public] ethics AND
 LOBBYING IN GOVERNMENT which alleged a  possible  violation  within  its
 jurisdiction,  including  the current status of each complaint, and (ii)
 where a matter has been resolved, the date and nature of the disposition
 and any sanction imposed, subject to the confidentiality requirements of
 this section. Such annual report shall not contain any  information  for
 S. 8005                            73                            A. 9005

 section.

 with respect to the imposition of penalties  who  knowingly  and  inten-
 tionally  violates  the  provisions  of subdivisions two through five-a,
 seven, eight, twelve, fourteen or fifteen of  section  seventy-three  of
 the  public  officers  law  or  a reporting individual who knowingly and
 wilfully fails to file an annual statement of  financial  disclosure  or
 who  knowingly  and wilfully with intent to deceive makes a false state-
 ment or gives information which such individual knows  to  be  false  on
 such  statement of financial disclosure filed pursuant to section seven-
 ty-three-a of the public officers law shall be subject to a civil penal-
 ty in an amount not to exceed forty thousand dollars and  the  value  of
 any  gift,  compensation  or  benefit  received  as  a  result  of  such
 violation. Any such individual who knowingly and intentionally  violates

 civil penalty in an amount not to exceed ten thousand  dollars  and  the
 value  of any gift, compensation or benefit received as a result of such
 violation. Assessment of a civil penalty hereunder shall be made by  the
 commission  with  respect  to  persons  subject  to its jurisdiction. In
 assessing the amount of the civil penalties to be imposed,  the  commis-
 sion shall consider the seriousness of the violation, the amount of gain
 to the individual and whether the individual previously had any civil or
 criminal  penalties  imposed  pursuant  to  this  section, and any other
 factors the commission  deems  appropriate.  For  a  violation  of  this
 section,  other than for conduct which constitutes a violation of subdi-
 vision twelve, fourteen or fifteen of section seventy-three  or  section
 seventy-four  of the public officers law, the legislative ethics commis-
 sion may, in lieu of  or  in  addition  to  a  civil  penalty,  refer  a
 violation  to  the  appropriate prosecutor and upon such conviction, but
 only after such referral, such violation shall be punishable as a  class
 A  misdemeanor.  Where  the  commission finds sufficient cause, it shall
 refer such matter to the appropriate prosecutor.  A  civil  penalty  for
 false  filing  may  not  be imposed hereunder in the event a category of
 "value" or "amount" reported hereunder is incorrect unless such reported
 information is falsely understated. Notwithstanding any other  provision
 of  law  to  the  contrary,  no  other penalty, civil or criminal may be
 imposed for a failure to file, or for a false filing, of such statement,
 or a violation of subdivision six of section seventy-three of the public
 officers law, except that the appointing authority may impose  discipli-
 nary action as otherwise provided by law. The legislative ethics commis-
 sion shall be deemed to be an agency within the meaning of article three
 of  the state administrative procedure act and shall adopt rules govern-
 ing the conduct of adjudicatory proceedings and appeals  taken  pursuant
 to a proceeding commenced under article seventy-eight of the civil prac-
 tice  law  and  rules  relating to the assessment of the civil penalties
 herein authorized. Such rules, which shall not be subject to the promul-
 gation and hearing requirements of the  state  administrative  procedure
 act,  shall  provide for due process procedural mechanisms substantially
 similar to those set forth in such article  three  but  such  mechanisms
 need  not  be identical in terms or scope. Assessment of a civil penalty
 shall be final unless modified, suspended or vacated within thirty  days
 of imposition, with respect to the assessment of such penalty, or unless
 such  denial  of  request  is reversed within such time period, and upon
 becoming final shall be  subject  to  review  at  the  instance  of  the
 S. 8005                            74                            A. 9005
 
 affected  reporting  individuals  in  a proceeding commenced against the
 legislative ethics commission, pursuant to article seventy-eight of  the
 civil practice law and rules.
   (b)  Not  later  than  forty-five calendar days after receipt from the
 [joint] INDEPENDENT  commission  on  [public]  ethics  AND  LOBBYING  IN
 GOVERNMENT  of  a written substantial basis investigation report and any
 supporting documentation or other materials regarding  a  matter  before
 the  commission  pursuant to [subdivision fourteen-a of] section ninety-
 four of the executive law, unless requested by a law enforcement  agency
 to suspend the commission's action because of an ongoing criminal inves-
 tigation,  the  legislative  ethics  commission  shall  make public such
 report in its entirety; provided, however, that the commission may with-
 hold such information for not more than one  additional  period  of  the
 same  duration  or  refer  the  matter  back  to the [joint] INDEPENDENT
 commission on [public] ethics AND LOBBYING IN GOVERNMENT once for  addi-
 tional  investigation,  in  which case the legislative ethics commission
 shall, upon the termination of such additional period or upon receipt of
 a new report by the [joint] INDEPENDENT commission  on  [public]  ethics
 AND  LOBBYING  IN  GOVERNMENT  after such additional investigation, make
 public the written report and publish it on the commission's website. If
 the legislative ethics commission  fails  to  make  public  the  written
 report  received  from  the [joint] INDEPENDENT commission ON ETHICS AND
 LOBBYING IN GOVERNMENT in accordance with this  paragraph,  the  [joint]
 INDEPENDENT  commission  ON  ETHICS  AND  LOBBYING  IN  GOVERNMENT shall
 release such report publicly promptly and in any event no later than ten
 days after the legislative ethics commission is required to release such
 report. The legislative ethics commission shall  not  refer  the  matter
 back to the [joint] INDEPENDENT commission on [public] ethics AND LOBBY-
 ING  IN  GOVERNMENT for additional investigation more than once.  If the
 commission refers the matter back to the [joint] INDEPENDENT  commission
 ON  ETHICS  AND  LOBBYING IN GOVERNMENT for additional fact-finding, the
 [joint commission's] INDEPENDENT COMMISSION ON ETHICS  AND  LOBBYING  IN
 GOVERNMENT'S original report shall remain confidential.

 commission on [public] ethics AND LOBBYING  IN  GOVERNMENT  pursuant  to
 subdivision  fourteen-a  of section seventy-three of the public officers
 law, the legislative ethics commission shall commence its review of  the
 matter addressed in such report. No later than ninety days after receipt
 of  such  report, the legislative ethics commission shall dispose of the
 matter by making one or more of the following determinations:
   a. whether the legislative ethics commission concurs with  the  [joint
 commission's]  INDEPENDENT  COMMISSION ON ETHICS AND LOBBYING IN GOVERN-
 MENT'S conclusions of law and the reasons therefor;
   b. whether and which penalties have been assessed pursuant to applica-
 ble law or rule and the reasons therefor; and
   c. whether further actions have been taken by the commission to punish
 or deter the misconduct at issue and the reasons therefor.
   The  commission's  disposition  shall  be  reported  in  writing   and
 published  on  its website no later than ten days after such disposition
 unless requested by a law enforcement agency to suspend the commission's
 action because of an ongoing criminal investigation.
   12. a. Notwithstanding the provisions of article  six  of  the  public
 officers  law,  the only records of the commission which shall be avail-
 able for public inspection and copying are:
   (1) the terms of any settlement or compromise of a complaint or refer-
 ral or report which includes a fine, penalty  or  other  remedy  reached

 ance with paragraph (b) of subdivision [nine-b] NINE of this section.
   b. Notwithstanding the provisions of article seven of the public offi-
 cers law, no meeting or proceeding of the commission shall  be  open  to
 the  public,  except  if expressly provided otherwise by this section or
 the commission.
   13. Within one hundred twenty days  of  the  effective  date  of  this
 subdivision,  the  commission  shall  create  and  thereafter maintain a

 ate.

 his or her firm earned fees in excess of $10,000  during  the  reporting

 firm provided legal representation  with  respect  to  investigation  or
 prosecution  by  law  enforcement authorities, bankruptcy, family court,
 estate planning, or domestic relations matters, nor shall the  reporting
 individual  identify  individuals  represented  pursuant to an insurance
 policy but the reporting individual shall  in  such  circumstances  only
 report  the  entity that provides compensation to the reporting individ-
 ual; with respect to matters in which the client's name is  required  by
 law  to  be  kept  confidential  (such as matters governed by the family
 court act) or in matters in which the reporting individual represents or
 provides services to minors, the client's  name  may  be  replaced  with
 initials.  To  the  extent  that the reporting individual, or his or her
 firm, provided legal representation with respect to  an  initial  public
 offering,  and  professional  disciplinary  rules,  federal law or regu-
 lations restrict the disclosure of information relating  to  such  work,
 the  reporting  individual shall (i) disclose the identity of the client
 and the services provided relating to the initial public offering to the
 office of court  administration,  who  will  maintain  such  information
 confidentially  in a locked box; and (ii) include in his or her response
 to questions (b-1) and (b-2) that pursuant to this paragraph, a  disclo-
 sure to the office of court administration has been made. Upon such time
 that  the  disclosure  of information maintained in the locked box is no
 longer restricted by professional disciplinary  rules,  federal  law  or
 regulation,  the reporting individual shall disclose such information in
 an amended disclosure statement in response to the  disclosure  require-
 ments  in  questions (b-1) and (b-2). The office of court administration
 shall develop and maintain a secure  portal  through  which  information
 submitted  to  it pursuant to this paragraph can be safely and confiden-
 tially stored. With respect to clients represented in other matters  not
 otherwise  exempt,  the reporting individual may request an exemption to
 publicly disclosing the name of that client from the [joint] INDEPENDENT
 commission ON ETHICS AND LOBBYING IN GOVERNMENT pursuant  to  [paragraph
 (i-1)  of subdivision nine of] section ninety-four of the executive law,
 or from the office of court administration.  In  such  application,  the
 reporting  individual  shall  state  the  following:  "My  client is not
 currently receiving my services or seeking  my  services  in  connection
 with:
 S. 8005                            82                            A. 9005
 
   (i) A proposed bill or resolution in the senate or assembly during the
 reporting period;
   (ii)  A  contract in an amount totaling $10,000 or more from the state
 or any state agency for services, materials, or property;
   (iii) A grant of $10,000 or more from the state or  any  state  agency
 during the reporting period;
   (iv)  A  grant  obtained  through  a legislative initiative during the
 reporting period; or
   (v) A case, proceeding, application or other  matter  that  is  not  a
 ministerial matter before a state agency during the reporting period."
   In  reviewing  the  request  for an exemption, the [joint] INDEPENDENT
 commission ON ETHICS AND LOBBYING IN GOVERNMENT or the office  of  court
 administration  may  consult with bar or other professional associations
 and the legislative ethics commission for  individuals  subject  to  its
 jurisdiction  and  may  consider  the  rules of professional conduct. In
 making its determination, the [joint] INDEPENDENT commission  ON  ETHICS
 AND  LOBBYING  IN GOVERNMENT or the office of court administration shall
 conduct its own inquiry and shall consider factors  including,  but  not
 limited  to: (i) the nature and the size of the client; (ii) whether the
 client has any business before the state; and if so, how significant the
 business is; and whether the client has any particularized  interest  in
 pending  legislation  and  if  so how significant the interest is; (iii)
 whether disclosure may reveal trade  secrets;  (iv)  whether  disclosure
 could  reasonably  result in retaliation against the client; (v) whether
 disclosure may cause undue harm to the client; (vi)  whether  disclosure
 may  result in undue harm to the attorney-client relationship; and (vii)
 whether disclosure may result in an unnecessary invasion of  privacy  to
 the client.
   The  [joint]  INDEPENDENT commission ON ETHICS AND LOBBYING IN GOVERN-
 MENT or, as the case may be, the office of  court  administration  shall
 promptly  make  a final determination in response to such request, which
 shall include an explanation for its determination.  The office of court
 administration shall issue its final determination within three days  of
 receiving the request. Notwithstanding any other provision of law or any
 professional  disciplinary  rule  to the contrary, the disclosure of the
 identity of any client or customer in response to  this  question  shall
 not  constitute  professional  misconduct  or  a ground for disciplinary
 action of any kind, or form the basis for any civil or criminal cause of
 action or proceeding. A reporting individual  who  first  enters  public
 office  after  January  first,  two  thousand  sixteen,  need not report
 clients or customers with respect to matters  for  which  the  reporting
 individual  or  his  or  her  firm was retained prior to entering public
 office.
   (c) APPLICABLE ONLY TO NEW CLIENTS OR CUSTOMERS FOR WHOM SERVICES  ARE
 PROVIDED ON OR AFTER DECEMBER THIRTY-FIRST, TWO THOUSAND FIFTEEN, OR FOR
 NEW  MATTERS  FOR  EXISTING  CLIENTS  OR CUSTOMERS WITH RESPECT TO THOSE
 SERVICES THAT ARE PROVIDED ON OR AFTER DECEMBER THIRTY-FIRST, TWO  THOU-
 SAND FIFTEEN:
   If the reporting individual receives income of ten thousand dollars or
 greater  from any employment or activity reportable under question 8(a),
 identify each registered lobbyist who  has  directly  referred  to  such
 individual a client who was successfully referred to the reporting indi-
 vidual's  business  and  from  whom  the  reporting  individual  or firm
 received a fee for services in excess of five thousand  dollars.  Report
 only  those referrals that were made to a reporting individual by direct
 communication from a person known to such reporting individual to  be  a

 registered  lobbyist  at  the time the referral is made. With respect to
 each such referral, the reporting individual shall identify the  client,
 the registered lobbyist who has made the referral, the category of value
 of  the  compensation  received and a general description of the type of
 matter so referred. A reporting individual need not disclose  activities
 performed while lawfully acting pursuant to paragraphs (c), (d), (e) and
 (f)  of  subdivision seven of section seventy-three of this article. The
 disclosure requirements in this question shall  not  require  disclosing
 clients   or  customers  receiving  medical,  pharmaceutical  or  dental
 services, mental health services, or residential real  estate  brokering
 services  from the reporting individual or his or her firm or if federal
 law prohibits or limits disclosure. The reporting  individual  need  not
 identify  any client to whom he or she or his or her firm provided legal
 representation with respect  to  investigation  or  prosecution  by  law
 enforcement  authorities,  bankruptcy, family court, estate planning, or
 domestic relations matters, nor shall the reporting individual  identify
 individuals  represented pursuant to an insurance policy but the report-
 ing individual shall in such circumstances only report the  entity  that
 provides  compensation  to  the  reporting  individual;  with respect to
 matters in which the client's name is required by law to be kept  confi-
 dential (such as matters governed by the family court act) or in matters
 in  which  the  reporting  individual represents or provides services to
 minors, the client's name may be replaced with initials. To  the  extent
 that the reporting individual, or his or her firm, provided legal repre-
 sentation with respect to an initial public offering, and federal law or
 regulations  restricts  the  disclosure  of information relating to such
 work, the reporting individual shall (i) disclose the  identity  of  the
 client and the services provided relating to the initial public offering
 to  the  office of court administration, who will maintain such informa-
 tion confidentially in a locked box; and (ii)  include  in  his  or  her
 response  a  statement  that pursuant to this paragraph, a disclosure to
 the office of court administration has been made. Upon  such  time  that
 the  disclosure of information maintained in the locked box is no longer
 restricted by federal law or regulation, the reporting individual  shall
 disclose such information in an amended disclosure statement in response
 to  the  disclosure requirements of this paragraph.  The office of court
 administration shall develop and maintain a secure portal through  which
 information submitted to it pursuant to this paragraph can be safely and
 confidentially  stored.  With  respect  to  clients represented in other
 matters not otherwise exempt, the reporting individual  may  request  an
 exemption  to  publicly  disclosing  the  name  of  that client from the
 [joint] INDEPENDENT commission ON  ETHICS  AND  LOBBYING  IN  GOVERNMENT
 pursuant to [paragraph (i-1) of subdivision nine of] section ninety-four
 of  the  executive  law,  or from the office of court administration. In
 such application, the reporting individual shall  state  the  following:
 "My client is not currently receiving my services or seeking my services
 in connection with:
   (i) A proposed bill or resolution in the senate or assembly during the
 reporting period;
   (ii)  A  contract in an amount totaling $10,000 or more from the state
 or any state agency for services, materials, or property;
   (iii) A grant of $10,000 or more from the state or  any  state  agency
 during the reporting period;
   (iv)  A  grant  obtained  through  a legislative initiative during the
 reporting period; or

   (v) A case, proceeding, application or other  matter  that  is  not  a
 ministerial matter before a state agency during the reporting period."
   In  reviewing  the  request  for an exemption, the [joint] INDEPENDENT
 commission ON ETHICS AND LOBBYING IN GOVERNMENT or the office  of  court
 administration  may  consult with bar or other professional associations
 and the legislative ethics commission for  individuals  subject  to  its
 jurisdiction  and  may  consider  the  rules of professional conduct. In
 making its determination, the [joint] INDEPENDENT commission  ON  ETHICS
 AND  LOBBYING  IN GOVERNMENT or the office of court administration shall
 conduct its own inquiry and shall consider factors  including,  but  not
 limited  to: (i) the nature and the size of the client; (ii) whether the
 client has any business before the state; and if so, how significant the

 whether disclosure may reveal trade  secrets;  (iv)  whether  disclosure
 could  reasonably  result in retaliation against the client; (v) whether
 disclosure may cause undue harm to the client; (vi)  whether  disclosure
 may  result in undue harm to the attorney-client relationship; and (vii)
 whether disclosure may result in an unnecessary invasion of  privacy  to
 the client.
   The  [joint]  INDEPENDENT commission ON ETHICS AND LOBBYING IN GOVERN-
 MENT or, as the case may be, the office of  court  administration  shall
 promptly  make  a final determination in response to such request, which
 shall include an explanation for its determination.  The office of court
 administration shall issue its final determination within three days  of
 receiving the request. Notwithstanding any other provision of law or any
 professional  disciplinary  rule  to the contrary, the disclosure of the
 identity of any client or customer in response to  this  question  shall
 not  constitute  professional  misconduct  or  a ground for disciplinary
 action of any kind, or form the basis for any civil or criminal cause of
 action or proceeding. A reporting individual  who  first  enters  public
 office  after  December  thirty-first,  two  thousand  fifteen, need not
 report clients or customers  with  respect  to  matters  for  which  the
 reporting  individual  or his or her firm was retained prior to entering
 public office.

 subdivision  4  as  amended by section 5 of part A of chapter 399 of the
 laws of 2011 and subdivision 7 as added by section 3 of part CC of chap-
 ter 56 of the laws of 2015, are amended to read as follows:
   4. A reporting individual who knowingly and wilfully fails to file  an
 annual  statement  of financial disclosure or who knowingly and wilfully
 with intent to deceive makes a  false  statement  or  gives  information
 which  such  individual knows to be false on such statement of financial
 disclosure filed pursuant to this section shall be subject  to  a  civil
 penalty in an amount not to exceed forty thousand dollars. Assessment of
 a  civil  penalty  hereunder  shall  be  made by the [joint] INDEPENDENT
 commission on [public] ethics AND  LOBBYING  IN  GOVERNMENT  or  by  the
 legislative  ethics  commission,  as  the  case  may be, with respect to
 S. 8005                            85                            A. 9005
 
 persons subject to their respective jurisdictions.   The  [joint]  INDE-
 PENDENT  commission on [public] ethics AND LOBBYING IN GOVERNMENT acting
 pursuant to subdivision fourteen of section ninety-four of the executive
 law  or the legislative ethics commission acting pursuant to subdivision
 eleven of section eighty of the legislative law, as  the  case  may  be,
 may,  in lieu of or in addition to a civil penalty, refer a violation to
 the appropriate prosecutor and upon such conviction, but only after such
 referral, such violation shall be punishable as a class A misdemeanor. A
 civil penalty for false filing may not be imposed hereunder in the event
 a category of "value" or "amount" reported hereunder is incorrect unless
 such reported information is falsely  understated.  Notwithstanding  any
 other provision of law to the contrary, no other penalty, civil or crim-
 inal  may  be  imposed  for a failure to file, or for a false filing, of
 such statement, except that the appointing authority may  impose  disci-
 plinary  action  as  otherwise  provided by law. The [joint] INDEPENDENT
 commission on [public] ethics AND LOBBYING IN GOVERNMENT and the  legis-
 lative ethics commission shall each be deemed to be an agency within the
 meaning  of  article three of the state administrative procedure act and
 shall adopt rules governing the conduct of adjudicatory proceedings  and
 appeals relating to the assessment of the civil penalties herein author-
 ized.  Such  rules,  which shall not be subject to the approval require-
 ments of the state administrative procedure act, shall provide  for  due
 process  procedural  mechanisms substantially similar to those set forth
 in such article three but such mechanisms need not be identical in terms
 or scope. Assessment of a civil penalty shall be final unless  modified,
 suspended  or vacated within thirty days of imposition and upon becoming
 final shall be subject to review at the instance of the affected report-
 ing individual in a proceeding commenced against the [joint] INDEPENDENT
 commission on [public] ethics AND LOBBYING IN GOVERNMENT or the legisla-
 tive ethics commission, pursuant to article seventy-eight of  the  civil
 practice law and rules.

 commission ON ETHICS AND LOBBYING IN GOVERNMENT or the office  of  court
 administration  for  an  exemption to disclosing the name of a client or
 customer in response to questions 8 (b-1), 8 (b-2) and 8 (c), all infor-
 mation which is the subject of or  a  part  of  such  application  shall
 remain confidential. The name of the client need not be disclosed by the
 reporting individual unless and until the [joint] INDEPENDENT commission
 ON  ETHICS  AND  LOBBYING  IN GOVERNMENT or the office of court adminis-
 tration formally advises the reporting individual that he  or  she  must
 disclose such names and the reporting individual agrees to represent the
 client.  Any  commissioner or person employed by the [joint] INDEPENDENT
 commission ON ETHICS AND LOBBYING IN GOVERNMENT or any  person  employed
 by  the  office  of  court administration who, intentionally and without
 authorization from a court of competent jurisdiction releases  confiden-
 tial  information  related to a request for an exemption received by the

 laws  of  2011,  and subdivision 10 as amended by section 5 of part K of
 chapter 286 of the laws of 2016, are amended to read as follows:
   8-a. The provisions of subparagraphs (i) and (ii) of paragraph (a)  of
 subdivision  eight  of  this  section shall not apply to any such former
 state officer or employee engaged  in  any  of  the  specific  permitted
 activities  defined  in  this  subdivision that are related to any civil
 action or proceeding in any state or federal court,  provided  that  the
 attorney  general  has  certified  in writing to the [joint] INDEPENDENT
 commission on [public] ethics AND LOBBYING IN GOVERNMENT, with a copy to
 such former state officer or employee, that the services are rendered on
 behalf of the state, a state agency, state officer or employee, or other
 person or entity represented by the  attorney  general,  and  that  such
 former  state officer or employee has expertise, knowledge or experience
 which is unique or outstanding in a field or in a particular  matter  or
 which  would  otherwise be generally unavailable at a comparable cost to
 the state, a state agency, state officer or employee, or other person or
 entity represented by the attorney  general  in  such  civil  action  or
 proceeding.  In  those instances where a state agency is not represented
 by the attorney general in a civil action  or  proceeding  in  state  or
 federal  court, a former state officer or employee may engage in permit-
 ted activities provided that the general counsel of  the  state  agency,
 after  consultation  with the [joint] INDEPENDENT commission on [public]
 ethics AND LOBBYING IN GOVERNMENT, provides to the  [joint]  INDEPENDENT
 commission  on  [public]  ethics  AND  LOBBYING  IN GOVERNMENT a written
 certification which meets the  requirements  of  this  subdivision.  For
 purposes  of this subdivision the term "permitted activities" shall mean

 tary or oral information concerning facts or opinions, attending deposi-
 tions or participating in document review or discovery;

 reporting about them;
   (e) identifying information to be sought concerning facts or opinions;
 or
   (f) otherwise assisting in the preparation for, or  conduct  of,  such
 litigation.
   Nothing  in  this  subdivision  shall  apply to the provision of legal
 representation by any former state officer or employee.
   8-b. Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraphs (i) and  (ii)  of
 paragraph (a) of subdivision eight of this section, a former state offi-
 cer or employee may contract individually, or as a member or employee of
 a  firm,  corporation  or  association,  to render services to any state
 agency if, prior to engaging in such service, the agency head  certifies
 in  writing to the [joint] INDEPENDENT commission on [public] ethics AND
 S. 8005                            88                            A. 9005

 tise,  knowledge or experience with respect to a particular matter which
 meets the needs of the agency and is otherwise unavailable at a compara-
 ble  cost.  Where approval of the contract is required under section one

 and consider the reasons for such certification. The [joint] INDEPENDENT
 commission on [public] ethics AND LOBBYING IN GOVERNMENT must review and
 approve all certifications made pursuant to this subdivision.
   10.  Nothing  contained in this section, the judiciary law, the educa-
 tion law or any other law or disciplinary rule  shall  be  construed  or
 applied  to  prohibit any firm, association or corporation, in which any
 present or former statewide elected official, state officer or employee,
 or political party chairman, member of the  legislature  or  legislative
 employee  is  a  member, associate, retired member, of counsel or share-
 holder, from appearing, practicing, communicating or otherwise rendering
 services in relation to any matter before, or transacting business  with
 a  state  agency,  or  a  city  agency with respect to a political party
 chairman in a county wholly included in a city with a population of more
 than one million, otherwise proscribed by this  section,  the  judiciary
 law,  the  education  law  or  any  other  law or disciplinary rule with
 respect to such official,  member  of  the  legislature  or  officer  or
 employee,  or  political  party  chairman,  where such statewide elected
 official, state officer or employee, member of the legislature or legis-
 lative employee, or political party chairman does not share in  the  net
 revenues,  as  defined  in accordance with generally accepted accounting
 principles by the [joint] INDEPENDENT commission on [public] ethics  AND
 LOBBYING  IN  GOVERNMENT  or  by  the  legislative  ethics commission in
 relation to persons subject to their respective jurisdictions, resulting
 therefrom, or, acting in good faith, reasonably believed that he or  she
 would  not  share  in the net revenues as so defined; nor shall anything
 contained in this section, the judiciary law, the education law  or  any
 other  law or disciplinary rule be construed to prohibit any firm, asso-
 ciation or corporation in which any present or former statewide  elected
 official,  member  of  the  legislature, legislative employee, full-time
 salaried state officer or employee or state officer or employee  who  is
 subject  to the provisions of section seventy-three-a of this article is
 a member, associate, retired member, of  counsel  or  shareholder,  from

 share in the net revenues as so defined.

 amended by chapter 307 of the laws  of  1979,  is  amended  to  read  as
 follows:
   6. Shift  pay  differentials.  Whenever  the director finds that under
 prevailing wage practices in private or other public employment  in  the
 state,  employees in a given occupation receive a higher rate  of pay or
 wage differential for a work shift other [than a normal day shift]  than
 that which is paid to employees in the same occupation [for a normal day
 shift],  [he]  THE DIRECTOR may, subject to the approval of the director
 of the budget, authorize a pay differential to be paid to those  employ-
 ees in positions in the same or related occupations in the state service
 and  who  are  [regularly]  assigned  to  an equivalent or substantially
 equivalent work shift, on a statewide basis, provided however, where the
 director finds that in a particular  geographical  area  or  areas  wage
 practices  would warrant a shift differential for employees in a partic-
 ular occupation then the director may grant a work shift  pay  differen-
 tial  for such employees, subject to the approval of the director of the
 budget. In determining whether  to  authorize  a  pay  differential  the
 director  shall  consider  the various duties on each shift, [other than
 the normal day shift,] in relation  to  the  normal  day  shift.  A  pay
 differential under this subdivision shall be a percentage of basic sala-
 ry,  AN  HOURLY  RATE,  AN ANNUAL RATE, or a fixed dollar amount per pay
 period, as prescribed in each case by the director of the classification
 and compensation division subject to approval of  the  director  of  the
 budget.  Such differential shall be paid in addition to and shall not be
 part of an employee's basic annual  salary,  and  shall  not  affect  or
 impair any performance advancement payments, performance awards, longev-
 ity  payments  or  other  rights or benefits to which an employee may be
 entitled under the provisions of this chapter, provided,  however,  that
 any  differential payable pursuant to this subdivision shall be included
 as compensation for retirement purposes. A  pay  differential  shall  be
 terminated for any employee when [he] THE EMPLOYEE ceases to be employed
 in  the  work  shift  or  position  for  which such pay differential was
 authorized. A pay differential shall remain in effect  until  terminated
 by the director of the classification and compensation division with the
 consent of the director of the budget or until a new pay differential is
 authorized  pursuant to this subdivision. The director of the budget may
 adopt such regulations as [he may  deem]  necessary  to  carry  out  the
 provisions of this subdivision.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

 part  BBB  of  chapter fifty-nine of the laws of two thousand seventeen,
 may be eligible for funding to match savings from such  action,  subject
 to  available  appropriation. Savings that are actually and demonstrably
 realized by the participating local governments are eligible for  match-
 ing  funding.  For actions that are part of an approved plan transmitted
 to the secretary of state in accordance with paragraph b of  subdivision
 seven of this section, savings achieved during either: (i) January first
 through  December  thirty-first from new actions implemented on or after

 year immediately following an approved and transmitted plan through June
 thirtieth of the subsequent year from new actions implemented July first
 of the year immediately following an approved plan through June  thirti-
 eth  of  the  subsequent year may be eligible for matching funding. Only
 net savings between local governments for each action would be  eligible
 for  matching  funding.  Savings from internal efficiencies or any other
 action taken by a local government without the participation of  another
 local  government are not eligible for matching funding. Each county and
 all of the local governments within the county  that  are  part  of  any
 action  to  be implemented as part of an approved plan must collectively
 apply for the matching funding BY SUBMITTING ONE  CONSOLIDATED  APPLICA-
 TION  PER  PLAN,  and  agree on the distribution and use of any matching
 funding in order to qualify for matching funding. ANY SUCH  CONSOLIDATED
 APPLICATION  SHALL  BE SUBMITTED TO THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE IN SUCH FORM

 necessary  to  discount the debt service payments on the refunding bonds
 from the payment dates thereof to the date of  issue  of  the  refunding
 bonds  to  the purchase price of the refunding bonds, including interest
 accrued thereon prior to the issuance  thereof.  The  maturity  of  such

                                  PART FF
 
   Section 1. The legislative law is amended by adding a new section 83-n
 to read as follows:
   § 83-N. LEGISLATIVE COMMISSION ON THE FUTURE OF THE LONG ISLAND  POWER
 AUTHORITY. 1. THE LEGISLATURE HEREBY FINDS AND DECLARES THAT CHAPTER 517
 OF THE LAWS OF 1986 CREATED THE LONG ISLAND POWER AUTHORITY (LIPA). SAID
 AUTHORITY  WAS  CREATED,  IN  PART,  BECAUSE THE DECISIONS BY LILCO, THE
 PRIVATE UTILITY THAT PROVIDED ELECTRICITY TO LONG  ISLAND  AND  PART  OF
 QUEENS,  "TO  COMMENCE  CONSTRUCTION OF THE SHOREHAM NUCLEAR POWER PLANT
 AND THEREAFTER TO CONTINUE SUCH CONSTRUCTION WERE  IMPRUDENT".  FURTHER,
 THE  LEGISLATURE  FOUND IN CHAPTER 517 OF THE LAWS OF 1986 THAT "A SITU-
 ATION THREATENING THE ECONOMY, HEALTH AND SAFETY EXISTS IN  THE  SERVICE
 AREA". ONE OF THE TWO EXPRESS PURPOSES OF THE ACT WAS THE CLOSURE OF THE
 SHOREHAM  NUCLEAR POWER PLANT. IN 1992, LIPA BOUGHT THE SHOREHAM NUCLEAR
 POWER PLANT. THE PLANT WAS FULLY DECOMMISSIONED IN 1994.
   THE SECOND PURPOSE OF SUCH CHAPTER 517 WAS TO  REPLACE  LILCO  WITH  A
 PUBLICLY  OWNED  POWER AUTHORITY. THE LEGISLATURE FOUND THAT "THERE IS A
 LACK OF CONFIDENCE THAT THE NEEDS OF THE RESIDENTS AND OF  COMMERCE  AND
 INDUSTRY  IN THE SERVICE AREA FOR ELECTRICITY CAN BE SUPPLIED IN A RELI-
 ABLE, EFFICIENT AND ECONOMIC MANNER BY THE LONG ISLAND LIGHTING  COMPANY
 (HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AS "LILCO")" AND "SUCH MATTERS OF STATE CONCERN
 BEST  CAN  BE DEALT WITH BY REPLACING SUCH INVESTOR OWNED UTILITY WITH A
 PUBLICLY OWNED POWER AUTHORITY."
 S. 8005--B                         52
 
   IN 1995, LIPA REPLACED LILCO AS THE ELECTRIC COMPANY FOR  ITS  SERVICE
 AREA.  HOWEVER,  LIPA  WAS  NEVER  ESTABLISHED AS A TRUE "PUBLICLY OWNED
 POWER AUTHORITY" AS ORIGINALLY  ENVISIONED  BY  THE  STATE  LEGISLATURE.
 RATHER,  SINCE  1995,  LIPA HAS OPTED FOR A THIRD-PARTY MANAGEMENT MODEL
 WHEREBY  LIPA  CONTRACTS  ITS  RESPONSIBILITY TO MANAGE THE UTILITY TO A
 PRIVATE, INVESTOR OWNED UTILITY COMPANY.
   LIPA IS THE ONLY UTILITY IN THE NATION THAT IS OPERATED UNDER A THIRD-
 PARTY MANAGEMENT MODEL. THIS MODEL HAS REPEATEDLY FAILED ITS  CUSTOMERS.
 THERE  HAS  BEEN  A LACK OF TRANSPARENCY, OVERSIGHT, AND ACCOUNTABILITY.
 THIS FAILURE HAS BEEN MOST DRAMATICALLY EVIDENCED  IN  THE  UNACCEPTABLE
 STORM RESPONSE BY LIPA AND ITS THIRD-PARTY CONTRACTORS DURING SUPERSTORM
 SANDY IN 2012 AND TROPICAL STORM ISAIAS IN 2020.
   AFTER MORE THAN 25 YEARS OF UNSATISFACTORY MANAGEMENT UNDER THE THIRD-
 PARTY  MANAGEMENT  MODEL, A BETTER ALTERNATIVE MUST BE IMPLEMENTED. THAT
 INQUIRY MUST BEGIN WITH THE ORIGINAL INTENT OF CHAPTER 517, WHEREBY LIPA
 WAS TO DIRECTLY MANAGE AND OPERATE THE UTILITY AS A  TRUE  PUBLIC  POWER
 UTILITY.   INITIAL INVESTIGATIONS BY LIPA AFTER TROPICAL STORM ISAIAS IN
 2020-2021 INDICATE THAT BOTH RATEPAYER SAVINGS AND INCREASED  MANAGEMENT
 EFFICIENCIES COULD BE ACHIEVED THROUGH THE PUBLIC POWER MODEL.
   CONSEQUENTLY,  IT  IS  THE  PURPOSE  OF  THIS SECTION TO IMPLEMENT THE
 ORIGINAL VISION FOR LIPA INTENDED BY CHAPTER 517 OF THE LAWS OF 1986, AS
 A PUBLICLY OWNED POWER  COMPANY.    THE  LEGISLATURE  HEREBY  CREATES  A
 COMMISSION  TO PROVIDE THE LEGISLATURE WITH THE SPECIFIC ACTIONS, LEGIS-
 LATION, AND TIMELINE NECESSARY TO RESTRUCTURE LIPA INTO A TRUE  PUBLICLY
 OWNED  POWER  AUTHORITY.  THE PUBLIC MUST PARTICIPATE IN THAT PROCESS SO
 THAT THE NEW LIPA BECOMES TRANSPARENT WITH PROPER OVERSIGHT AND ACCOUNT-
 ABILITY. THE LEGISLATIVE COMMISSION SHALL SUBMIT ITS FINAL REPORT TO THE
 LEGISLATURE NO LATER THAN APRIL FIRST, TWO THOUSAND TWENTY-THREE.
   2. A LEGISLATIVE COMMISSION IS HEREBY ESTABLISHED TO  INVESTIGATE  AND
 REPORT  TO  THE LEGISLATURE ON THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A PUBLIC POWER MODEL
 FOR THE OPERATION OF LIPA, WHEREBY THE AUTHORITY WOULD DIRECTLY  OPERATE
 THE  UTILITY  AS  A  TRUE  PUBLIC  POWER AUTHORITY. THE COMMISSION SHALL
 REPORT TO THE LEGISLATURE ON  THE  SPECIFIC  ACTIONS,  LEGISLATION,  AND
 TIMELINE  NECESSARY TO RESTRUCTURE LIPA INTO A TRUE PUBLICLY OWNED POWER
 AUTHORITY.  THE COMMISSION SHALL CONSIDER: (A) THE METHOD OF  GOVERNANCE
 OF  THE PUBLIC AUTHORITY; (B) IMPROVED TRANSPARENCY, ACCOUNTABILITY, AND
 PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT; (C) IMPROVED RELIABILITY  OF  THE  SYSTEM;  (D)  THE
 IMPACT  ON  ELECTRIC  RATES; (E) IMPROVED STORM RESPONSE; (F) THE POWERS
 REQUIRED BY LIPA TO MORE EFFECTIVELY OPERATE THE UTILITY; (G) THE  OVER-
 SIGHT  ROLE  OF  THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SERVICE AND THE PUBLIC SERVICE
 COMMISSION OVER LIPA'S OPERATION; (H)  THE  IMPACT  ON  EXISTING  BONDED
 INDEBTEDNESS;  (I)  IMPROVED  LONG  TERM ENERGY PLANNING; (J) COMPLIANCE
 WITH THE GOALS OF THE NEW YORK STATE CLIMATE  LEADERSHIP  AND  COMMUNITY
 PROTECTION  ACT;  (K)  INCREASED RELIANCE ON RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES TO
 PRODUCE ELECTRICITY; (L) TAXATION AND PAYMENTS IN LIEU OF TAXES; (M) THE
 SPECIAL NEEDS OF COMMUNITIES THAT ARE  OR  HAVE  BEEN  IMPACTED  BY  THE
 SITING OF POWER GENERATING FACILITIES; AND (N) ANY OTHER MATTER RELEVANT
 TO  THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A PUBLIC POWER MODEL FOR THE OPERATION OF LIPA.
 IN ITS REPORT TO THE LEGISLATURE, THE COMMISSION SHALL PROVIDE  FOR  THE
 IMPLEMENTATION  OF THE PUBLIC POWER MODEL BY LIPA NO LATER THAN DECEMBER
 THIRTY-FIRST, TWO THOUSAND TWENTY-FIVE.
   3. THE COMMISSION SHALL CONSIST OF EIGHT MEMBERS TO  BE  APPOINTED  AS
 FOLLOWS: THREE MEMBERS OF THE SENATE SHALL BE APPOINTED BY THE TEMPORARY
 PRESIDENT  OF  THE  SENATE;  THREE  MEMBERS  OF  THE  ASSEMBLY  SHALL BE
 APPOINTED BY THE SPEAKER OF THE ASSEMBLY; ONE MEMBER OF THE SENATE SHALL

 VACANCY THAT OCCURS IN THE COMMISSION SHALL BE FILLED IN THE SAME MANNER
 IN WHICH THE ORIGINAL APPOINTMENT WAS MADE. CO-CHAIRS OF THE  COMMISSION
 SHALL  BE  DESIGNATED  BY  THE TEMPORARY PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE AND THE
 SPEAKER OF THE ASSEMBLY, RESPECTIVELY. NO MEMBER, OFFICER,  OR  EMPLOYEE
 OF  THE  COMMISSION  SHALL BE DISQUALIFIED FROM HOLDING ANY OTHER PUBLIC

 OF  THE  COMMISSION  SHALL  RECEIVE  NO COMPENSATION FOR THEIR SERVICES,
 EXCEPT AS PROVIDED PURSUANT TO SECTION FIVE-A OF THIS CHAPTER, BUT SHALL
 BE ALLOWED THEIR ACTUAL AND NECESSARY EXPENSES INCURRED IN THE  PERFORM-
 ANCE OF THEIR DUTIES HEREUNDER.
   6.  EMPLOYEES OF THE COMMISSION SHALL BE CONSIDERED TO BE EMPLOYEES OF
 THE LEGISLATURE FOR ALL PURPOSES.
