Bill > A08336

This bill amends the 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 those services to 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 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 those services to be provided every day of the week, with the same exceptions for temporary concessions and events. 3. The bill specifies that the provisions related to the Port Authority will only take effect if the State of New Jersey enacts identical legislation.
