Sponsor's memo
BILL NUMBER:S1183A
Title of bill
An act to amend the public authorities law, in relation to prescribing a uniform system of accounts for the power authority of the state of New York
Purpose or general idea of bill
To require PASNY to conform their annual report and books of account with the ones submitted by electric and gas corporations to the PSC.
Summary of specific provisions
Requires PASNY to file an annual report with the Governor, the Comptroller and the fiscal committees Of the Legislature, in exact likeness to the annual report which electric and gas corporations submit to the Public Service Commission. Requires PASNY to conform their books of account with the Uniform System of Accounts of the PSC.
Effects of present law which this bill would alter
Amends Sections 1002 of the Public Authorities Law.
Justification
The report the PASNY presently files with the Governor, the Comptroller and the fiscal committees of the Legislature is comparable to the annual reports that corporations send to their stockholders. These reports tend to be more flash than fact. The uniform system of accounts and the annual report, which this bill asks PASNY to submit to the Governor, the comptroller and the fiscal committees of the Legislature, is a thorough disaggregation of a utility's financial condition with respect to all sales, personnel, plant and equipment. Such a report could shed much more light on the Authority's operations than does the annual report which PASNY are now required to submit.
