Justification
This bill would repeal the statutory authorization for certain urban renewal agencies and industrial development agencies which are either defunct or which were never ultimately established by local law. The agencies listed in this bill have been determined inactive by the New York State Authorities Budget Office, Department of Economic Development, Office of the State Comptroller, or Commission on Public Authority Reform, based on consultation with the affected local government.
Although these agencies no longer function, their authorization continues in State Law. This bill would repeal the statutory authorization for certain industrial development agencies which are either defunct or which were never ultimately established. The agencies listed within its provisions have been determined inactive by the New York State Authorities Budget Office, Department of Economic Development, Office of the State Comptroller, or Commission on Public Authority Reform, based on consultation with the
affected local government, and none has any outstanding debt or other obligations.
Accordingly, this bill would advance the State's effort to maintain an accurate inventory of agencies, and abolish unnecessary sectors of local government.
Fiscal implications
None, as the dissolved entities never operated.
