Summary

This bill provides for the recovery of economic development awards from recipients who relocate outside New York State within five years of receiving the award. Economic development awards are financial incentives provided by the state to businesses to encourage job creation and investment. The bill establishes that if a recipient moves their operations out of state within the five-year period, the state can require repayment of the award. Repayment must follow the timeframe specified in the original award agreement. This provision ensures accountability and protects state funds by discouraging businesses from accepting incentives and then relocating.

AI-generated plain-language summary of the bill (from the OpenStates abstract — no full text available yet) — neutral, and may be imperfect.
