Purpose
To allow for the merger of certain state entities.
Summary
Merger of the Department of Banking, Department of Insurance and the Consumer Protection Board into the Department of Financial Services The Legislature has modified the Executive's Article VII Legislation to effectuate this merger. This new Department of Financial Services will be a streamlined and efficient oversight agency for the financial services industry. The Legislature rejected merging the Consumer Protection Board with the Department of Banking and the Department of Insurance, and instead folds it in to the Department of State. The Legislation provides for separate divisions of Banking and Insurance, headed by separate deputy superintendents, with separate assessments and programs for appropriations, so as to maintain a regulatory firewall between separate entities, while still allowing for administrative efficiencies through back office and support consolidation.
Merger of the Department of Correctional Services and the Division of Parole into the Department of Corrections and Community Supervision The Legislature modified the Executive's Article VII proposal to allow the merger of the Department of Correctional Services and the Division of Parole into the Department of Corrections and Community Supervision (DCCS) and reduce the number of Board of Parole members from nineteen to thirteen, by having the Board of Parole to maintain its current authority and include language to ensure that the function of the Board would not be hampered in any way by the new entity, including, but not limited to, restricting resources including staff assistance, limiting access to vital information or presenting inmate information in a manner to influence the Board to make its decisions pursuant to a policy or goal of the new entity, rather than upon the statutory guidelines relevant to that specific inmate. In addition this requires an annual report from the new entity and/or the Board and/or Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) with regard to the number of parolees that are charged with a violation of parole as well as the outcome of that charge.
Merger of Division of Criminal Justice Services with the Office of
Victim Services and Office for the Prevention of Domestic Violence and State Commission on Corrections The Legislature rejected the proposal to merge these entities as they have very disparate missions.
Merger of the Foundation for Science, Technology, and Innovation (NYSTAR) The Legislature modifies the Executive's proposal to Merge NYSTAR into Empire State Development Corporation by creating a separate division within Department of Economic Development called the Division of Science, Technology and Innovation which will ensure the retention of the technical personnel associated with the NYSTAR corporation.
AGENCY REORGANIZATION SAGE COMMISSION S.2813:
The Legislature modifies the Executive's proposal to enact legislation that permits the Governor to examine the organization of all State agencies and recommend structural changes through a reorganization plan.
Effective date
