follows:
S. 4005 23 A. 3005
§ 2. Purpose. One of the finest traditions of American community life
is the service which people render to others [without remuneration].
Volunteer firefighters have long been in the forefront of this group. In
recognition of the unselfish service by these volunteers, government has
undertaken to provide for them and their families some measure of
protection against loss from death or injuries in line of duty. Over the
years there has developed a dual system of benefits when volunteer fire-
fighters are killed or injured. The dual system has caused uncertainty
and confusion. This law establishes a new single system of benefits for
volunteer firefighters and provides for the administration of such
system by the workers' compensation board and the chairman of such
board.
It is hereby declared that this chapter is intended to effectuate the
objects and purposes of section eighteen of article one of the state
constitution and that the relationship between the political subdivision
liable for benefits under this chapter and a volunteer firefighter enti-
tled to such benefits is that of employer and employee within the mean-
ing of such provision of the state constitution.

law, as amended by chapter 458 of the laws of 1996, is amended to read

vision one of section five of this chapter and the same such duties and
activities performed for a specialized team established pursuant to the
provisions of section two hundred nine-bb of the general municipal law
for which the volunteer firefighter does not receive any remuneration or
a gratuity and shall be deemed to include any date of injury as deter-
mined by the workers' compensation board pursuant to the provisions of
section forty-one of this chapter. The following shall not be deemed to
be remuneration or a gratuity: PAYMENT OF A NOMINAL FEE AS OUTLINED IN
SECTION TWO HUNDRED-AA OF THE GENERAL MUNICIPAL LAW; reimbursement of
expenses for meals, lodging and actual and necessary travel; the receipt
of a mileage allowance in lieu of travel expense; reimbursement of
expenses for registration and tuition fees payable under section seven-
ty-two-g of the general municipal law, and the acceptance of transporta-
tion, food, drink, shelter, clothing and similar items while on duty or
engaged in such activities.
§ 3. The general municipal law is amended by adding a new section
200-aa to read as follows:

THREE OF THE VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTERS' BENEFIT LAW.
(B) "NOMINAL FEE" MEANS PAYMENT TO A VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTER OF A

expenses for meals, lodging and actual and necessary travel; the receipt
of a mileage allowance in lieu of travel expense; reimbursement of

PART K
Section 1. New York's alcoholic beverage control law was enacted in
1934. Since that time, the law has grown organically to meet the chang-
ing needs of the industry. However, through that growth over the course
of nearly a century, the structure of the law has become unwieldy and
S. 4005 28 A. 3005
inconsistent. Consequently, it is difficult for the industry and regu-
lators to understand, implement, enforce, and comply with the law.
The State believes that with an open, transparent legislative review
process, the alcoholic beverage control law can be properly rewritten.
To begin the process of modernizing the state's alcoholic beverage
control laws, the New York State Liquor Authority ("SLA") is hereby
directed to undertake a review of those laws and recommend changes. Such
recommended changes shall focus on clearly and rationally delineating
policies, procedures, criteria, and legal standards that are in current
law but not in an intelligible form. The SLA shall prepare an amended
version of the law containing the proposed changes and post it on their
website for public review.
§ 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
PART L
Section 1. The alcoholic beverage control law is amended by adding a
new section 97-d to read as follows:

TION AS THE LIQUOR AUTHORITY SHALL REQUIRE. SUCH APPLICATION SHALL BE
ACCOMPANIED BY A CHECK OR DRAFT IN THE AMOUNT OF ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-FIVE

(B) THE APPLICANT HAS OBTAINED AND PROVIDED EVIDENCE OF ALL PERMITS,
LICENSES AND OTHER DOCUMENTS NECESSARY FOR THE OPERATION OF SUCH A BUSI-
NESS; AND
(C) ANY CURRENT LICENSE IN EFFECT AT THE PREMISES THAT MAY NOT UNDER

OR HAS BEEN DEEMED ABANDONED BY THE AUTHORITY.
3. THE LIQUOR AUTHORITY IN GRANTING SUCH PERMIT SHALL ENSURE THAT:
(A) ISSUANCE OF THE PERMIT WILL NOT INORDINATELY HINDER THE OPERATION
OR EFFECTIVE ADMINISTRATION OF THIS CHAPTER;
(B) THE APPLICANT WOULD IN ALL LIKELIHOOD BE ABLE TO ULTIMATELY OBTAIN
THE MANUFACTURING LICENSE BEING APPLIED FOR; AND
(C) THE APPLICANT HAS SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLIED WITH THE REQUIREMENTS
NECESSARY TO OBTAIN SUCH LICENSE.
4. THE APPLICATION FOR A PERMIT SHALL BE APPROVED OR DENIED BY THE
LIQUOR AUTHORITY WITHIN FORTY-FIVE DAYS AFTER THE RECEIPT OF SUCH APPLI-
CATION.
5. A TEMPORARY PERMIT SHALL AUTHORIZE THE PERMITTEE TO OPERATE A MANU-
FACTURING FACILITY FOR THE MANUFACTURE AND SALE OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES
ACCORDING TO THE LAWS APPLICABLE TO THE TYPE OF MANUFACTURING LICENSE
BEING APPLIED FOR.
6. SUCH TEMPORARY PERMIT SHALL REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR SIX MONTHS OR

7. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION OF LAW TO THE CONTRARY, A TEMPORARY
PERMIT MAY BE SUMMARILY CANCELLED OR SUSPENDED AT ANY TIME IF THE LIQUOR
AUTHORITY DETERMINES THAT GOOD CAUSE FOR CANCELLATION OR SUSPENSION
EXISTS. THE LIQUOR AUTHORITY SHALL PROMPTLY NOTIFY THE PERMITTEE IN
WRITING OF SUCH CANCELLATION OR SUSPENSION AND SHALL SET FORTH THE
REASONS FOR SUCH ACTION.
8. THE LIQUOR AUTHORITY IN REVIEWING SUCH APPLICATION SHALL REVIEW THE
ENTIRE RECORD AND GRANT THE TEMPORARY PERMIT UNLESS GOOD CAUSE IS OTHER-
WISE SHOWN. A DECISION ON AN APPLICATION SHALL BE BASED ON SUBSTANTIAL
EVIDENCE IN THE RECORD AND SUPPORTED BY A PREPONDERANCE OF THE EVIDENCE
IN FAVOR OF THE APPLICANT.

have become law.

FISCAL NOTE.--Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50:
S. 4005 39 A. 3005
This bill would revise the terms of participation in the New York
State and Local Retirement Systems (NYSLRS) Contribution Stabilization
Program (CSP). Participating employers in the NYSLRS may enter the CSP
to reduce volatility in average annual contribution rates. Should
employer billing rates increase rapidly, the CSP allows a portion of the
increase to be amortized over 10 years for the regular CSP or 12 years
for the alternative CSP. Should employer billing rates decrease rapid-
ly, the CSP requires employers to make an additional contribution,
called a graded payment. The graded payment is deposited into an inter-
est-bearing reserve fund held within the NYSLRS for the exclusive use by
the employer to reduce future amortizations.
This bill revises the CSP in the following ways:
1) Limits the value of the reserve fund assets. Graded payments would
cease when the employer's reserve fund assets exceed the employer's
actuarial contribution in the prior fiscal year. Currently, the reserve
fund is capped at 100% of the employer's payroll.
2) Creates provisions for termination from the CSP, subject to
approval by the Comptroller, provided all prior year amortizations are
paid in full, including interest. Beginning the fiscal year following
termination, the employer would not be required (or allowed) to make a
graded payment. Any existing reserve fund assets would be used to reduce
future annual bills up to the amount the employer would have been able
to amortize if still in the program. The employer would be permitted to
re-enter the regular CSP only if eligible to amortize, provided all
reserve fund assets are depleted.
3) Allows an employer to utilize its reserve fund assets to pay a
portion of its annual bill when the employer's average actuarial
contribution rate exceeds the employer's graded rate. Currently, the
employer's average actuarial rate must exceed the System graded rate.
If this bill is enacted during the 2023 legislative session, we antic-
ipate some administrative costs to implement the provisions of this
legislation.

Section 1. Section 2 of the volunteer firefighters' benefit law, as
amended by chapter 476 of the laws of 2018, is amended to read as
follows:
§ 2. Purpose. One of the finest traditions of American community life
is the service which people render to others [without remuneration].
Volunteer firefighters have long been in the forefront of this group. In
recognition of the unselfish service by these volunteers, government has
undertaken to provide for them and their families some measure of
protection against loss from death or injuries in line of duty. Over the
years there has developed a dual system of benefits when volunteer fire-
fighters are killed or injured. The dual system has caused uncertainty
and confusion. This law establishes a new single system of benefits for
volunteer firefighters and provides for the administration of such
system by the workers' compensation board and the chairman of such
board.
It is hereby declared that this chapter is intended to effectuate the
objects and purposes of section eighteen of article one of the state
constitution and that the relationship between the political subdivision
liable for benefits under this chapter and a volunteer firefighter enti-
tled to such benefits is that of employer and employee within the mean-
ing of such provision of the state constitution.
§ 2. Subdivision 3 of section 3 of the volunteer firefighters' benefit
law, as amended by chapter 458 of the laws of 1996, is amended to read
as follows:
3. "Line of duty" means the performance by a volunteer firefighter as
a volunteer firefighter of the duties and activities described in subdi-
vision one of section five of this chapter and the same such duties and
activities performed for a specialized team established pursuant to the
provisions of section two hundred nine-bb of the general municipal law
for which the volunteer firefighter does not receive any remuneration or
a gratuity and shall be deemed to include any date of injury as deter-
mined by the workers' compensation board pursuant to the provisions of
section forty-one of this chapter. The following shall not be deemed to
be remuneration or a gratuity: PAYMENT OF A NOMINAL FEE AS OUTLINED IN
SECTION TWO HUNDRED-AA OF THE GENERAL MUNICIPAL LAW; reimbursement of
expenses for meals, lodging and actual and necessary travel; the receipt
of a mileage allowance in lieu of travel expense; reimbursement of
expenses for registration and tuition fees payable under section seven-
ty-two-g of the general municipal law, and the acceptance of transporta-
tion, food, drink, shelter, clothing and similar items while on duty or
engaged in such activities.
§ 3. The general municipal law is amended by adding a new section
200-aa to read as follows:

PART K
Section 1. New York's alcoholic beverage control law was enacted in
1934. Since that time, the law has grown organically to meet the chang-
ing needs of the industry. However, through that growth over the course
of nearly a century, the structure of the law has become unwieldy and
inconsistent. Consequently, it is difficult for the industry and regu-
lators to understand, implement, enforce, and comply with the law.
The State believes that with an open, transparent legislative review
process, the alcoholic beverage control law can be properly rewritten.
To begin the process of modernizing the state's alcoholic beverage
control laws, the New York State Liquor Authority ("SLA") is hereby
directed to undertake a review of those laws and recommend changes. Such
recommended changes shall focus on clearly and rationally delineating
policies, procedures, criteria, and legal standards that are in current
law but not in an intelligible form. The SLA shall prepare an amended
version of the law containing the proposed changes and post it on their
website for public review.
§ 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
PART L
Section 1. The alcoholic beverage control law is amended by adding a
new section 97-d to read as follows:

AGE WHOLESALE BUSINESS AS MAY BE LICENSED UNDER THIS CHAPTER. SUCH
APPLICATION SHALL BE IN WRITING AND VERIFIED AND SHALL CONTAIN INFORMA-
TION AS THE LIQUOR AUTHORITY SHALL REQUIRE. SUCH APPLICATION SHALL BE
ACCOMPANIED BY A CHECK OR DRAFT IN THE AMOUNT OF ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-FIVE
DOLLARS FOR SUCH PERMIT.
2. UPON APPLICATION, THE LIQUOR AUTHORITY MAY ISSUE SUCH TEMPORARY
PERMIT WHEN:
(A) THE APPLICANT HAS A WHOLESALE LICENSE APPLICATION AT THE SAME
PREMISES PENDING BEFORE THE LIQUOR AUTHORITY, TOGETHER WITH ALL REQUIRED
FILING AND LICENSE FEES;
(B) THE APPLICANT HAS OBTAINED AND PROVIDED EVIDENCE OF ALL PERMITS,
LICENSES AND OTHER DOCUMENTS NECESSARY FOR THE OPERATION OF SUCH A BUSI-
NESS; AND
(C) ANY CURRENT LICENSE IN EFFECT AT THE PREMISES THAT MAY NOT UNDER
LAW OPERATE CONCURRENTLY HAS BEEN SURRENDERED OR PLACED IN SAFEKEEPING,
OR HAS BEEN DEEMED ABANDONED BY THE AUTHORITY.
3. THE LIQUOR AUTHORITY IN GRANTING SUCH PERMIT SHALL ENSURE THAT:
(A) ISSUANCE OF THE PERMIT WILL NOT INORDINATELY HINDER THE OPERATION
OR EFFECTIVE ADMINISTRATION OF THIS CHAPTER;
(B) THE APPLICANT WOULD IN ALL LIKELIHOOD BE ABLE TO ULTIMATELY OBTAIN
THE WHOLESALE LICENSE BEING APPLIED FOR; AND
S. 4005--A 29 A. 3005--A
(C) THE APPLICANT HAS SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLIED WITH THE REQUIREMENTS
NECESSARY TO OBTAIN SUCH LICENSE.
4. THE APPLICATION FOR A PERMIT SHALL BE APPROVED OR DENIED BY THE
LIQUOR AUTHORITY WITHIN FORTY-FIVE DAYS AFTER THE RECEIPT OF SUCH APPLI-
CATION.
5. A TEMPORARY PERMIT SHALL AUTHORIZE THE PERMITTEE TO OPERATE A
WHOLESALE FACILITY FOR THE SALE OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES ACCORDING TO THE
LAWS APPLICABLE TO THE TYPE OF WHOLESALE LICENSE BEING APPLIED FOR.
6. SUCH TEMPORARY PERMIT SHALL REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR SIX MONTHS OR

LICENSE GRANTED, WHICHEVER IS SHORTER. SUCH PERMIT MAY BE EXTENDED AT
THE DISCRETION OF THE LIQUOR AUTHORITY FOR ADDITIONAL THREE-MONTH PERI-
ODS OF TIME UPON PAYMENT OF AN ADDITIONAL FEE OF FIFTY DOLLARS FOR EACH
SUCH EXTENSION.
7. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION OF LAW TO THE CONTRARY, A TEMPORARY
PERMIT MAY BE SUMMARILY CANCELLED OR SUSPENDED AT ANY TIME IF THE LIQUOR
AUTHORITY DETERMINES THAT GOOD CAUSE FOR CANCELLATION OR SUSPENSION
EXISTS. THE LIQUOR AUTHORITY SHALL PROMPTLY NOTIFY THE PERMITTEE IN
WRITING OF SUCH CANCELLATION OR SUSPENSION AND SHALL SET FORTH THE
REASONS FOR SUCH ACTION.
8. THE LIQUOR AUTHORITY IN REVIEWING SUCH APPLICATION SHALL REVIEW THE
ENTIRE RECORD AND GRANT THE TEMPORARY PERMIT UNLESS GOOD CAUSE IS OTHER-
WISE SHOWN. A DECISION ON AN APPLICATION SHALL BE BASED ON SUBSTANTIAL
EVIDENCE IN THE RECORD AND SUPPORTED BY A PREPONDERANCE OF THE EVIDENCE
IN FAVOR OF THE APPLICANT.

have become law.

tronic submission affords a fair and equal opportunity for offerers to
submit responsive offers, AND THAT THE ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE COMPLIES
WITH THE PROVISIONS OF ARTICLE THREE OF THE STATE TECHNOLOGY LAW.
[Within thirty days of the completion of the eighty-fifth electronic bid
solicitation, or by April first, two thousand fifteen, whichever is

practicable. State agencies shall document the determination of the
method of procurement and the basis of award in the procurement record.
Where the basis for award is the best value offer, the state agency
shall document, in the procurement record and in advance of the initial
receipt of offers, the determination of the evaluation criteria, which
whenever possible, shall be quantifiable, and the process to be used in

dates. The name of any candidate who passes any such examination and who
is otherwise qualified shall be placed on the continuing eligible list
in the rank corresponding to his OR HER final rating on such examina-
tion. The period of eligibility of successful candidates for certif-

terminal date, such period shall not be less than one year; nor shall
such period of eligibility exceed four years. Subject to such conditions
and limitations as the civil service department or municipal commission
may prescribe, a candidate may take more than one such examination;

FISCAL NOTE.--Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50:
This bill would revise the terms of participation in the New York
State and Local Retirement Systems (NYSLRS) Contribution Stabilization
Program (CSP). Participating employers in the NYSLRS may enter the CSP
to reduce volatility in average annual contribution rates. Should
employer billing rates increase rapidly, the CSP allows a portion of the
increase to be amortized over 10 years for the regular CSP or 12 years
for the alternative CSP. Should employer billing rates decrease rapid-
ly, the CSP requires employers to make an additional contribution,
called a graded payment. The graded payment is deposited into an inter-
est-bearing reserve fund held within the NYSLRS for the exclusive use by
the employer to reduce future amortizations.
This bill revises the CSP in the following ways:
1) Limits the value of the reserve fund assets. Graded payments would
cease when the employer's reserve fund assets exceed the employer's
actuarial contribution in the prior fiscal year. Currently, the reserve
fund is capped at 100% of the employer's payroll.
2) Creates provisions for termination from the CSP, subject to
approval by the Comptroller, provided all prior year amortizations are
paid in full, including interest. Beginning the fiscal year following
termination, the employer would not be required (or allowed) to make a
graded payment. Any existing reserve fund assets would be used to reduce
future annual bills up to the amount the employer would have been able
to amortize if still in the program. The employer would be permitted to
re-enter the regular CSP only if eligible to amortize, provided all
reserve fund assets are depleted.
3) Allows an employer to utilize its reserve fund assets to pay a
portion of its annual bill when the employer's average actuarial
contribution rate exceeds the employer's graded rate. Currently, the
employer's average actuarial rate must exceed the System graded rate.
If this bill is enacted during the 2023 legislative session, we antic-
ipate some administrative costs to implement the provisions of this
legislation.
