   § 2. Section 3.01 of the arts and cultural affairs law is  amended  to
 read as follows:
   § 3.01. Legislative  findings  and declaration of policy. It is hereby
 found that many of our citizens lack the opportunity to view,  enjoy  or
 participate in living theatrical performances, musical concerts, operas,
 dance  and ballet recitals, art exhibits, examples of fine architecture,
 and the performing and fine arts generally. It is hereby  further  found
 that,  with  increasing  leisure time, the practice and enjoyment of the
 arts are of increasing importance and that the general  welfare  of  the
 people  of  the  state will be promoted by giving further recognition to
 the arts as a vital aspect of our culture and heritage and as  a  valued
 means of expanding the scope of our educational programs.
   It  is  hereby  declared  to  be  the policy of the state to join with
 private patrons and with  institutions  and  professional  organizations
 concerned  with the arts to insure that the role of the arts in the life
 of our communities will continue to grow and  will  play  an  ever  more
 significant  part in the welfare and educational experience of our citi-
 zens and in maintaining the paramount position  of  this  state  in  the
 nation and in the world as a cultural center.
   THE  LEGISLATURE  FURTHER  FINDS  THAT THE INVESTMENT OF FUNDS BY ARTS
 AGENCIES AS DEFINED IN ARTICLE EIGHT-B OF THE LABOR LAW  CAN  PROVIDE  A
 VITAL  ECONOMIC ENGINE TO ASSIST, NURTURE, DEVELOP, AND PROMOTE REGIONAL
 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, THE STATE TOURISM INDUSTRY AND THE GROWTH OF  JOBS
 IN  THE  STATE.  INDEED, ATTENDEES OF ARTS PROGRAMMING GENERATE ECONOMIC
 ACTIVITY IN NEW YORK STATE FAR BEYOND THE COST OF ADMISSION,  FROM  FOOD
 AND  DRINK,  TO PARKING, TRANSPORTATION, TRAVEL, AND CHILDCARE REVENUES,
 AMONG OTHERS.
   THE PROFESSIONAL PERFORMERS AND RELATED  OR  SUPPORTING  PROFESSIONALS
 EMPLOYED ON PROJECTS AND PRODUCTIONS THAT CREATE THE PERFORMING AND FINE
 ARTS,  AND  ARE THE BASIS OF THE ARTS ECONOMY IN NEW YORK STATE AND MUST
 NOT BE LEFT BEHIND. THEREFORE, THE STATE  LEGISLATURE  FINDS  THAT  ARTS
 AGENCIES  HAVE  A SUBSTANTIAL AND COMPELLING PROPRIETARY INTEREST IN ANY
 FUNDS AWARDED IN THE FINE AND PERFORMING ARTS.  THE  LEGISLATURE  HEREBY
 DECLARES  THAT  THE MANDATE OF A LIVING WAGE FOR PROJECTS AWARDED GRANTS
 S. 3037--A                         13
 
 BY ARTS AGENCIES IS CENTRAL TO ENSURING THE  CONTINUED  AVAILABILITY  OF
 THE  FINE  AND  PERFORMING  ARTS  IN NEW YORK STATE, AND THE CONCOMITANT
 ECONOMIC BENEFITS THEREWITH, AND FURTHER THAT  THE  STATE'S  PROPRIETARY
 INTEREST  WITH  REGARD  TO  SUCH  FUNDS  COULD  BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY
 LABOR-MANAGEMENT CONFLICT.
   It is further declared that all activities undertaken by the state  in
 carrying  out  this  policy  shall  be  directed  toward encouraging and
 assisting rather than in any  ways  limiting  the  freedom  of  artistic
 expression that is essential for the well-being of the arts.
   §  3.  Paragraph  (d) of subdivision 1 of section 3.19 of the arts and
 cultural affairs law, as added by chapter 16 of the  laws  of  2017,  is
 amended to read as follows:
   (d) ANY ORGANIZATION APPLYING FOR GRANT FUNDING FROM AN ARTS AGENCY AS
 DEFINED BY THIS CHAPTER SHALL PROVIDE TO THE ARTS AGENCY A CERTIFICATION
 THAT  IT  WILL ENTER INTO A LABOR PEACE AGREEMENT WITH AT LEAST ONE BONA
 FIDE LABOR ORGANIZATION THAT REPRESENTS EMPLOYEES OF  SUCH  ORGANIZATION
 INCLUDING  BUT NOT LIMITED TO ACTORS, STAGE MANAGERS, PRODUCTION ASSIST-
 ANTS, SCENIC ARTISTS,  SCENIC  DESIGNERS,  COSTUME  DESIGNERS,  LIGHTING
 DESIGNERS,  SOUND  DESIGNERS, PROJECTION DESIGNERS, GRAPHIC ARTISTS, ART
 AND COSTUME DEPARTMENT COORDINATORS, USHERS, TICKET TAKERS, LINE  DIREC-
 TORS, PRESS AGENTS, COMPANY MANAGERS, THEATRE MANAGERS, ENGINEERS, MUSI-
 CIANS,  SINGERS,  CHOREOGRAPHERS,  DANCERS, STAGING STAFF, BALLET SCHOOL
 FACULTY,  DIRECTORS,  FIGHT  DIRECTORS,  INTIMACY  DIRECTORS,  DRESSERS,
 WARDROBERS,  COSTUMERS,  STITCHERS,  TAILORS, DRAPERS, SHOPPERS, LAUNDRY
 WORKERS, DYERS,  COSTUME  TECHNICIANS,  MILLINERS,  CRAFTSPEOPLE,  CHILD
 ACTORS,  GUARDIANS,  BOX OFFICE TREASURERS, FIRST ASSISTANTS, AND TICKET
 SELLERS EITHER WHERE SUCH  BONA  FIDE  LABOR  ORGANIZATION  IS  ACTIVELY
 REPRESENTING  EMPLOYEES  PROVIDING  SERVICES COVERED BY THE ORGANIZATION
 SEEKING SUCH GRANT FUNDING OR UPON NOTICE BY A BONA FIDE LABOR ORGANIZA-
 TION THAT IS ATTEMPTING TO REPRESENT EMPLOYEES WHO WILL PROVIDE SERVICES
 TO THE ORGANIZATION SEEKING SUCH GRANT FUNDING. THE MAINTENANCE OF  SUCH
 A  LABOR  PEACE  AGREEMENT  SHALL  BE  AN ONGOING MATERIAL CONDITION FOR
 RECEIPT OF GRANT FUNDING  UNDER  THIS  ARTICLE.  FOR  PURPOSES  OF  THIS
 SECTION,  "LABOR  PEACE  AGREEMENT" MEANS AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN AN ENTITY
 AND LABOR ORGANIZATION THAT, AT A MINIMUM, PROTECTS THE STATE'S PROPRIE-
 TARY INTERESTS BY  PROHIBITING  LABOR  ORGANIZATIONS  AND  MEMBERS  FROM
 ENGAGING  IN PICKETING, WORK STOPPAGES, BOYCOTTS, AND ANY OTHER ECONOMIC
 INTERFERENCE WITH THE ENTITY.
   (E) Any applicant which fails to demonstrate that grant funds  are  to
 be  used  toward  programs  in  the  state shall be deemed ineligible to
 receive grant funding under this article. Any organization, when  apply-
 ing  for grant funding, shall provide in its grant application materials
 documentation demonstrating compliance with this provision.
   § 4. Severability. If any clause,  sentence,  paragraph,  subdivision,
 section  or part of this act shall be adjudged by any court of competent
 jurisdiction to be invalid, such judgment shall not affect,  impair,  or
 invalidate the remainder thereof, but shall be confined in its operation
 to the clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivision, section or part thereof
 directly  involved  in the controversy in which such judgment shall have
 been rendered. It is hereby declared to be the intent of the legislature
 that this act would have been enacted even if  such  invalid  provisions
 had not been included herein.
   §  5.  This  act shall take effect on the ninetieth day after it shall
 have become a law and shall apply to any grant award made subsequent  to
 such effective date.
