Specifically, the bill ensures a comprehensive transfer of all aspects of the Thruway Authority's operations, including ongoing projects, employee rights, and existing rules and regulations. All books, papers, and property of the Thruway Authority will be transferred to the Department of Transportation, which will be considered a direct continuation of the Thruway Authority. Employees will retain their current civil service classifications, status, and collective bargaining agreements.
