BILL NUMBER:S5755
Title of bill
An act to amend chapter 91 of the laws of 2008, amending the public health law, relating to establishing a task force on toll plaza air quality, in relation to the expiration thereof
Purpose
This legislation will extend the provisions of chapter 91/2008 which established a task force to study the air quality in toll plazas.
Summary of provisions
This bill would extend for one year the task force on air quality in toll plazas in New York City.
Justification
Air pollution can affect an individual's health in many ways with both short-term and long-term effects. The extent to which an individual is harmed by air pollution usually depends on the total exposure to the damaging chemicals. In many cases, employees working in toll plazas are exposed to these harmful pollutants for a total of 8 hours per day. The task force on toll plaza air quality is required-in order to identify, study and determine the extent of the effects on air quality in toll plazas leading into and out of the five boroughs of New York city.
Legislative history
Chapter 91/2008 established the task force on air quality in toll plazas and required a report from the task force. The report has not been produced. This bill would extend the task force in order to produce the report.
Fiscal implications
None.
Effective date
This act shall be effective immediately and shall be deemed to have been in full force and effect on April 1, 2011 when chapter 91/2008 expired.
