Bill > A09223

This bill requires employers seeking state economic incentives (such as tax credits, grants, or other financial benefits) to submit an annual report to the New York Department of Labor detailing any merit determinations related to unfair labor practices. These determinations would include violations under New York state labor law or the National Labor Relations Act, which protects workers' rights to organize and engage in collective bargaining. Employers must disclose the specifics of these labor practice determinations and their outcomes. Additionally, the bill mandates that employers provide a certificate of compliance as part of their economic incentive application. The Department of Labor will review these annual reports and, upon satisfactory review, issue a certificate of compliance that deems the employer eligible to receive state economic incentives. The bill will take effect 180 days after becoming law, and state agencies are authorized to develop the necessary regulations in advance of the effective date.
