Bill > S04576

This bill amends the New York State Urban Development Corporation Act to establish a clear procedure for filling vacancies in the president or chairperson positions. Currently, when the president or chairperson position becomes vacant due to death, resignation, or other reasons, the governor can now appoint a successor with the advice and consent of the senate to serve for the remainder of the unexpired term. Additionally, the governor may designate an acting president or chairperson for a period not exceeding six months or until a successor is confirmed by the senate, whichever occurs first. The bill also updates gendered language throughout the document, replacing terms like "he" or "him" with gender-neutral language like "them" or "their". This change ensures that the legislation uses inclusive language and clarifies the appointment process for key leadership roles within the New York State Urban Development Corporation, providing more flexibility and continuity in leadership transitions.
