        AN ACT to amend the labor law, in relation to prohibiting state  funding

          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:

     1    Section 1. The labor law is amended by adding a new section  219-b  to
     2  read as follows:
     3    §  219-b.  Outsourcing  of  jobs  prohibited.  1. For purposes of this
     4  section the following terms shall have the following meanings:
     5    (a) "outsource" shall mean to relocate or move  jobs  outside  of  the
     6  state of New York to another state or country;
     7    (b)  "state  funding"  shall mean the provision of any awards, grants,
     8  loans, tax benefits or any other financial assistance by the state to  a
     9  business entity; and
    10    (c)  "business entity" shall mean any person, firm, corporation, part-
    11  nership, limited liability company or any other  business  entity  doing
    12  business in this state.
    13    2.  No  business entity shall receive state funding if a determination
    14  is made by the commissioner that such  business  entity  has  outsourced
    15  jobs.  Upon  a  determination by the commissioner that a business entity
    16  has outsourced jobs, the commissioner shall notify such business  entity
    17  of such determination. Upon receipt of such notice, such business entity
    18  shall  have thirty days within which to request a hearing regarding such
    19  determination. Such hearing shall be held in a manner to  be  determined
    20  by  the  commissioner.  Failure  to request a hearing within thirty days
    21  shall be deemed a waiver of such business entity's right to  a  hearing.
    22  If  after such hearing a determination is made that such business entity
    23  has outsourced jobs or after expiration of such thirty  day  period,  no
    24  further state funding shall be made to such business entity.
    25    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
