BILL NUMBER:S4767A
Title of bill
An act to amend the election law, in relation to the election of trustees of the Long Island Power Authority
Subject and purpose
To eliminate the inclusion of signature requirements and other references to the Long Island Power Authority from the Election Law.
Summary and description of provisions
This bill amends Sections 6-142 2(h) and (i), 6-158.9 and 14-100.7 of the Election Law by removing said references.
Justification
The laws of the State of New York were previously amended to reflect the change from election to appointment of trustees to the Long Island Power Authority, however, the references to said position in the Election Law were not deleted and have resulted in the filing of ballot access documents with the State Board of Elections, as well as unnecessary litigation related to same. Removing these references will ensure that interested persons will follow the correct process if they desire to serve as trustees of the Long Island Power Authority.
