Introduced by Sen. SKOUFIS -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Local Government

AN ACT to amend the general municipal law and the public authorities law, in relation to prohibiting the use of funds, financial incentives or subsidies where facilities or property are used primarily for e-commerce storage and transfers, or the facilitation thereof

The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem- bly, do enact as follows:

1 Section 1. Section 862 of the general municipal law is amended by 2 adding a new subdivision 3 to read as follows: 3 (3) No funds, financial incentives or subsidies of the agency shall be 4 used in respect of any project where facilities or property are used 5 primarily for electronic commerce (e-commerce) storage and transfers, or 6 the facilitation thereof. 7 § 2. The second undesignated paragraph of section 1953 of the public 8 authorities law, as amended by chapter 579 of the laws of 2021, is 9 amended to read as follows: 10 Notwithstanding the provisions of this section to the contrary, such 11 financial assistance may, however, be provided to a project where facil- 12 ities or property that are primarily used in making retail sales of 13 goods or services to customers who personally visit such facilities to 14 obtain such goods or services constitute more than one-third of the 15 total project cost, where: (i) the predominant purpose of the project 16 would be to make available goods or services which would not, but for 17 the project, be reasonably accessible to the residents of the city of 18 Troy because of a lack of reasonably accessible retail trade facilities 19 offering such goods or services; or (ii) the project is located in a 20 highly distressed area. With respect to projects authorized pursuant to 21 this paragraph no project shall be approved unless the authority shall 22 find after the public hearing required by section twenty-three hundred 23 seven of this chapter that undertaking the project will serve the public 24 purposes of this article by preserving permanent, private sector jobs or 25 increasing the overall number of permanent, private sector jobs in the 26 state. Where the authority makes such a finding, prior to providing

No funds, financial incentives or subsidies of the 4 authority shall be used in respect of any project where facilities or 5 property are used primarily for electronic commerce (e-commerce) storage 6 and transfers, or the facilitation thereof. To carry out said purposes, 7 the authority shall have power: 8 § 3. The second undesignated paragraph of section 2306 of the public 9 authorities law, as amended by chapter 304 of the laws of 2013, is 10 amended to read as follows: 11 Notwithstanding the provisions of this section to the contrary, such 12 financial assistance may, however, be provided to a project where facil- 13 ities or property that are primarily used in making retail sales of 14 goods or services to customers who personally visit such facilities to 15 obtain such goods or services constitute more than one-third of the 16 total project cost, where: (i) the predominant purpose of the project 17 would be to make available goods or services which would not, but for 18 the project, be reasonably accessible to the residents of the city of 19 Auburn because of a lack of reasonably accessible retail trade facili- 20 ties offering such goods or services; or (ii) the project is located in 21 a highly distressed area. With respect to projects authorized pursuant 22 to this paragraph no project shall be approved unless the authority 23 shall find after the public hearing required by section twenty-three 24 hundred seven of this title that undertaking the project will serve the 25 public purposes of this article by preserving permanent, private sector 26 jobs or increasing the overall number of permanent, private sector jobs 27 in the state. Where the authority makes such a finding, prior to provid- 28 ing financial assistance to the project by the authority, the chief 29 executive officer of the city of Auburn shall confirm the proposed 30 action of the authority. No funds, financial incentives or subsidies of 31 the authority shall be used in respect of any project where facilities 32 or property are used primarily for electronic commerce (e-commerce) 33 storage and transfers, or the facilitation thereof. To carry out said 34 purpose, the authority shall have power: 35 § 4. This act shall take effect immediately.
