Bill > S02489

This bill amends the Public Authorities Law to require the New York State Thruway Authority to provide public notice, a description of meeting details, and a sign-up list prior to any meetings of the board. Specifically, the bill requires the Authority to: (1) provide public notice of the meeting date, time, and location at least two weeks in advance; (2) provide a description of the meeting agenda and items to be considered at least one week in advance; and (3) allow interested parties to sign up for public comment at the meeting at least one week in advance. These requirements are intended to increase transparency and public participation in the Thruway Authority's decision-making process.
