BILL NUMBER:S4257C
Title of bill
An act to amend the executive law, in relation to a prohibition on diversion of resources from dedicated funds derived from taxes and fees that support the metropolitan transportation authority or the New York city transit authority and their subsidiaries in certain instances
Summary of provisions
Section 1. Adds a new section 182 to the executive law prohibiting the diversion of funds dedicated to the metropolitan transportation authority and its subsidiaries to the general fund.
Establishes procedures and action on requests for diversions of funds during certain periods and circumstances. Further, judicial relief opportunities are established for adversely effected employees and/or employee organizations.
Justification
In the past year, more than $160 million has been diverted from MTA dedicated funds, including the Payroll Mobility Tax, which has exacerbated bus and subway service cuts and has diminished the quality of life of millions of New Yorkers. Accordingly, legislation is needed to prohibit administrative diversions in certain instances and to improve transparency and citizen awareness should an overriding emergency nevertheless require diversion of resources to the General Fund.
