Bill > S07794

This bill amends New York's Public Authorities Law and the laws relating to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. The key provisions are: 1. It requires that any contracts for the operation of food services or food concessions at public transportation facilities owned or operated by public authorities, such as thruway rest areas, service areas, and welcome centers, must require that such services be provided every day of the week. This does not apply to temporary concessions or events like farmers' markets or flea markets. 2. It also requires the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to establish a policy that contracts for the operation of food services or food concessions at transportation facilities it owns, such as bus stations, train stations, rest areas, and marine terminals, must require that such services be provided every day of the week. Again, this does not apply to temporary concessions or events. 3. The bill specifies that it will take effect 30 days after becoming law, and the provisions related to the Port Authority will take effect upon New Jersey enacting identical legislation.
