Title of bill
An act to amend the public officers law, in relation to activities by former state officers
Purpose or general idea of bill
To extend the exemption from the "revolving door" provisions of the Public Officers Law to include those state workers who lose their jobs as a result of the reduction in the state workforce on or after January 1, 2009 and before April 1, 2011.
Summary of specific provisions
Paragraph (b) of subdivision 8 of section 73 of the public officers law is amended to open a new window in the exemption from the "revolving door" provisions of the public officers law to former employees who have lost their jobs due to state workforce reductions. References to the State Ethics Commission are altered to reflect the Commission on Public Integrity created in 2007.
Justification
From time to time, due to unfavorable fiscal conditions, it becomes necessary to reduce the size of the state workforce. The bill assists state workers who lose their jobs by exempting them from the "revolving door" provisions of the public officers law. This legislation opens new employment opportunities to state workers who lose their jobs through no fault of their own.
Prior legislative history
New Bill. Similar to previous extensions of the "revolving door" exemption, such as Chapter 561 of the Laws of 1998 and Chapter 33 of the Laws of 1997.
Fiscal implications
None.
Effective date
This act shall take effect immediately and shall be deemed to have been in full force and effect on or after January 1, 2009.
