Bill > A06184

This bill establishes the Nassau County and Queens County Border Task Force, a temporary seven-member committee appointed by the governor to examine and investigate jurisdictional and boundary disputes between these two New York counties. The task force will be composed of representatives from various political bodies, including the state senate, assembly, county executives, and the state police, with two chairpersons selected by the Nassau County executive and Queens Borough president. The task force will have the power to conduct public hearings, request witnesses and documents, and recommend legislation related to their findings. Members will serve without compensation, and the state police will provide necessary data to support their work. The task force is required to issue a comprehensive report of their findings and recommendations to the governor and legislative leaders by January 1, 2027. The bill will take effect immediately and automatically expire two years after its effective date or upon submission of the required report, ensuring a focused and time-limited investigation of the border disputes between Nassau and Queens counties.
