Bill > S08557

This bill requires employers seeking state economic incentives to provide a certificate of compliance by reporting annually to the Department of Labor about any merit determinations related to unfair labor practices. Specifically, employers must disclose any findings of violations under New York State labor law or the National Labor Relations Act (a federal law protecting workers' rights to organize and engage in collective bargaining), including the outcomes of these determinations. The Department of Labor will review these annual reports and, upon satisfactory review, issue a certificate of compliance that allows the employer to be eligible for various state economic incentives, such as tax breaks or development grants. These requirements apply to economic incentives across multiple areas of state law, including tax law, economic development, public housing, municipal law, insurance law, and real property tax law. The bill will go into effect 180 days after becoming law, giving employers time to prepare for the new reporting requirements.
