BILL NUMBER:S6128
Title of bill
An act to amend the public authorities law, in relation to the Montgomery, Otsego, Schoharie county solid waste management authority
Purpose of bill
To clarify a chapter of the laws of 2011 amending the Montgomery, Otsego, Schoharie county solid waste management authority ("MOSA") act, Title 13-AA of the public authorities law, as proposed in legislative bill numbers S.4555-A and A.7212, that would allow Otsego county, under certain circumstances, to terminate its membership in MOSA and to amend provisions of the MOSA act to take into account the possibility that Otsego county would so terminate such membership.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 of the bill would provide a new definition for "authority" if and at such time Otsego county terminates its membership in MOSA.
Section 2 would provide a new membership structure for the board of the authority if and at such time Otsego county terminates its membership in MOSA.
Section 3 would amend § 2041-w of the MOSA act, as amended by a chapter of the laws of 2011 as proposed in legislative bill numbers S.4555-A and A.7212, to (i) ensure that Otsego county meets its obligations and responsibilities, and terminates its membership, consistent with existing and hereafter-entered superseding agreements between the authority and the three counties, and (ii) establish a formula based upon a 2009 agreement between the parties to be used with respect to dividing up each of the counties' assets and liabilities upon such termination.
Section 4 would make the bill effective on the same date and in the same manner as a chapter of the laws of 2011 amending the MOSA act, as proposed in legislative bill numbers S.4555-A and A.7212.
Existing law
The MOSA act, originally enacted in 1987, established a tri-county authority to address solid management-related matters in Montgomery, Otsego and Schoharie counties. A chapter of the laws of 2011 as proposed in legislative bill numbers S.4555-A and A.7212 would provide Otsego county with the authority, under certain circumstances, to terminate its membership in MOSA and establish an
allocation formula to be used by the three counties upon such termination.
Statement in support
The bill would clarify that Otsego County's termination of its membership in MOSA must be consistent with existing or hereafter-entered agreements between MOSA and the three counties, conform provisions of the MOSA act with the authority granted to Otsego county to terminate its membership, and to provide a formula to be used with respect to dividing up each of the counties' assets and liabilities upon such termination.
Effective date
Effective on the same date and in the same manner as a chapter of the laws of 2011 amending the MOSA act, as proposed in legislative bill numbers S.4555-A and A.7212.
