Bill > A04162

This bill amends the Public Authorities Law to provide that the minority members of the New York State Public Authorities Control Board shall have voting privileges, and the board shall act upon a four-fifths vote of the members, rather than a unanimous vote as previously required. The bill removes the provision stating that the minority members' comments shall be entered into the official record, but will only be considered if there is no objection from the voting members. The bill also clarifies that the minority members' representatives can vote or act on their behalf in their absence.
