BILL NUMBER:S6619A
Title of bill
An act to amend the public service law, in relation to public hearing requirements before a gas or electric corporation closes a call center
Purpose
Chapter 330 of the laws of 2010 required that no call center of a gas or electric facility may relocate without a hearing before the Public Service Commission (PSC). This legislation outlines the specific crite- ria for the required hearing.
Summary of provisions
Amends paragraph (b) of subdivision 13 of section 65 of the public service law.
Requires that a public hearing must be called not less than 60 days of receipt by the PSC of the notice to relocate and defines what consti- tutes a public hearing and requires 30 days notice to public and affected parties prior to the scheduled hearing date.
Justification
Chapter 330 of the laws of 2010 requires that no electric or gas call center may be relocated without a hearing before the PSC. Recently there has been brought to the Legislature's attention that the PSC has not had a required public hearing on a possible call center closure. It appears there are some questions as to what constitutes the hearing required by this statute; this legislation will clarify the requirements.
