Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act to amend chapter 154 of the laws of 1921 relating to the port authority of New York and New Jersey, in relation to interviews of any officer or employee of the port authority or its subsidiaries
Purpose or general idea of bill
To amend the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Transparency and Accountability Act of 2015 to include a new reform added by the New Jersey State legislature.
Summary of specific provisions
Section one of the bill would require that any interview conducted by the inspector general must be in accordance with any applicable provisions of the current collective bargaining agreement.
Section two provides that this act shall take effect upon the enactment by the state of New Jersey of legislation having an identical effect with this act.
Justification
In December of 2015, Governor Cuomo signed into law, as chapter 559, the PANYNJ Transparency and Accountability Act of 2015. Since similar legislation must be enacted in New Jersey before the reforms can take effect, the New Jersey State legislature are taking the necessary steps to pass a similar bill.
The bill would provide necessary protections and coverage if a collective bargaining agreement has lapsed or until a new collective bargaining agreement is reached.
