    22  follows:
    23    6. Shift  pay  differentials.  Whenever  the director finds that under
    24  prevailing wage practices in private or other public employment  in  the
    25  state,  employees in a given occupation receive a higher rate  of pay or
    26  wage differential for a work shift other [than a normal day shift]  than
    27  that which is paid to employees in the same occupation [for a normal day
    28  shift],  [he]  the director may, subject to the approval of the director
    29  of the budget, authorize a pay differential to be paid to those  employ-
    30  ees in positions in the same or related occupations in the state service
    31  and  who  are  [regularly]  assigned  to  an equivalent or substantially
    32  equivalent work shift, on a statewide basis, provided however, where the
    33  director finds that in a particular  geographical  area  or  areas  wage
    34  practices  would warrant a shift differential for employees in a partic-
    35  ular occupation then the director may grant a work shift  pay  differen-
    36  tial  for such employees, subject to the approval of the director of the
    37  budget. In determining whether  to  authorize  a  pay  differential  the
    38  director  shall  consider  the various duties on each shift, [other than
    39  the normal day shift,] in relation  to  the  normal  day  shift.  A  pay
    40  differential under this subdivision shall be a percentage of basic sala-
    41  ry,  an  hourly  rate,  an annual rate, or a fixed dollar amount per pay
    42  period, as prescribed in each case by the director of the classification

        S. 8005--C                         10                         A. 9005--C
 
     1  and compensation division subject to approval of  the  director  of  the
     2  budget.  Such differential shall be paid in addition to and shall not be
     3  part of an employee's basic annual  salary,  and  shall  not  affect  or
     4  impair any performance advancement payments, performance awards, longev-
     5  ity  payments  or  other  rights or benefits to which an employee may be
     6  entitled under the provisions of this chapter, provided,  however,  that
     7  any  differential payable pursuant to this subdivision shall be included
     8  as compensation for retirement purposes. A  pay  differential  shall  be
     9  terminated for any employee when [he] the employee ceases to be employed
    10  in  the  work  shift  or  position  for  which such pay differential was
    11  authorized. A pay differential shall remain in effect  until  terminated
    12  by the director of the classification and compensation division with the
    13  consent of the director of the budget or until a new pay differential is
    14  authorized  pursuant to this subdivision. The director of the budget may
    15  adopt such regulations as [he may  deem]  necessary  to  carry  out  the
    16  provisions of this subdivision.

    47    Section 1. The legislative law is amended by adding a new section 83-n
    48  to read as follows:
    49    § 83-n. Legislative commission on the future of the Long Island  Power
    50  Authority. 1. The legislature hereby finds and declares that chapter 517
    51  of the laws of 1986 created the Long Island Power Authority (LIPA). Said
    52  authority  was  created,  in  part,  because the decisions by LILCO, the

        S. 8005--C                         19                         A. 9005--C
 
     1  private utility that provided electricity to Long  Island  and  part  of
     2  Queens,  "to  commence  construction of the Shoreham nuclear power plant
     3  and thereafter to continue such construction were  imprudent".  Further,
     4  the  legislature  found in chapter 517 of the laws of 1986 that "a situ-
     5  ation threatening the economy, health and safety exists in  the  service
     6  area". One of the two express purposes of the act was the closure of the
     7  Shoreham  nuclear power plant. In 1992, LIPA bought the Shoreham nuclear
     8  power plant. The plant was fully decommissioned in 1994.
     9    The second purpose of such chapter 517 was to  replace  LILCO  with  a
    10  publicly  owned  power authority. The legislature found that "There is a
    11  lack of confidence that the needs of the residents and of  commerce  and
    12  industry  in the service area for electricity can be supplied in a reli-
    13  able, efficient and economic manner by the Long Island lighting  company
    14  (hereinafter referred to as "LILCO")" and "Such matters of state concern
    15  best  can  be dealt with by replacing such investor owned utility with a
    16  publicly owned power authority."
    17    In 1995, LIPA replaced LILCO as the electric company for  its  service
    18  area.  However,  LIPA  was  never  established as a true "publicly owned
    19  power authority" as originally  envisioned  by  the  State  Legislature.
    20  Rather,  since  1995,  LIPA has opted for a third-party management model
    21  whereby LIPA contracts its responsibility to manage  the  utility  to  a
    22  private, investor owned utility company.
    23    LIPA is the only utility in the nation that is operated under a third-
    24  party  management model. This model has repeatedly failed its customers.
    25  There has been a lack of transparency,  oversight,  and  accountability.
    26  This  failure  has  been most dramatically evidenced in the unacceptable
    27  storm response by LIPA and its third-party contractors during Superstorm
    28  Sandy in 2012 and Tropical Storm Isaias in 2020.
    29    After more than 25 years of unsatisfactory management under the third-
    30  party management model, a better alternative must be  implemented.  That
    31  inquiry  must  begin with the original intent of chapter 517 of the laws
    32  of 1986, whereby LIPA was to directly manage and operate the utility  as
    33  a true public power utility.  Initial investigations by LIPA after Trop-
    34  ical  Storm Isaias in 2020-2021 indicate that both ratepayer savings and
    35  increased management efficiencies could be achieved through  the  public
    36  power model.
    37    Consequently,  it  is  the  purpose  of  this section to implement the
    38  original vision for LIPA intended by chapter 517 of the laws of 1986, as
    39  a publicly owned power  company.    The  legislature  hereby  creates  a
    40  commission  to provide the legislature with the specific actions, legis-
    41  lation, and timeline necessary to restructure LIPA into a true  publicly
    42  owned  power  authority.  The public must participate in that process so
    43  that the new LIPA becomes transparent with proper oversight and account-
    44  ability. The legislative commission shall submit its final report to the
    45  legislature no later than April first, two thousand twenty-three.
    46    2. A legislative commission is hereby established to  investigate  and
    47  report  to  the legislature on the establishment of a public power model
    48  for the operation of LIPA, whereby the authority would directly  operate
    49  the  utility  as  a  true  public  power authority. The commission shall
    50  report to the legislature on  the  specific  actions,  legislation,  and
    51  timeline  necessary to restructure LIPA into a true publicly owned power
    52  authority.  The commission shall consider: (a) the method of  governance
    53  of  the public authority; (b) improved transparency, accountability, and
    54  public involvement; (c) improved reliability  of  the  system;  (d)  the
    55  impact  on  electric  rates; (e) improved storm response; (f) the powers
    56  required by LIPA to more effectively operate the utility; (g) the  over-

        S. 8005--C                         20                         A. 9005--C
 
     1  sight  role  of  the department of public service and the public service
     2  commission over LIPA's operation; (h)  the  impact  on  existing  bonded
     3  indebtedness;  (i)  improved  long  term energy planning; (j) compliance
     4  with  the  goals  of the New York state climate leadership and community
     5  protection act; (k) increased reliance on renewable  energy  sources  to
     6  produce electricity; (l) taxation and payments in lieu of taxes; (m) the
     7  special  needs  of  communities  that  are  or have been impacted by the
     8  siting of power generating facilities; and (n) any other matter relevant
     9  to the establishment of a public power model for the operation of  LIPA.
    10  In  its  report to the legislature, the commission shall provide for the
    11  implementation of the public power model by LIPA no later than  December
    12  thirty-first, two thousand twenty-five.
    13    3.  The  commission  shall consist of eight members to be appointed as
    14  follows: three members of the senate shall be appointed by the temporary
    15  president of  the  senate;  three  members  of  the  assembly  shall  be
    16  appointed by the speaker of the assembly; one member of the senate shall
    17  be appointed by the minority leader of the senate; and one member of the
    18  assembly shall be appointed by the minority leader of the assembly.  Any
    19  vacancy that occurs in the commission shall be filled in the same manner
    20  in  which the original appointment was made. Co-chairs of the commission
    21  shall be designated by the temporary president of  the  senate  and  the
    22  speaker  of  the assembly, respectively. No member, officer, or employee
    23  of the commission shall be disqualified from holding  any  other  public
    24  office  or  employment,  nor  shall he or she forfeit any such office or
    25  employment by reason of his or her appointment hereunder,  notwithstand-
    26  ing  the provisions of any general, special, or local law, ordinance, or
    27  city charter.
    28    4. The commission shall establish an advisory  committee  to  actively
    29  assist  and advise the commission in the preparation of the public power
    30  report required to be prepared pursuant to this section.  The  committee
    31  shall  consist  of not more than fifteen members which shall include but
    32  not be limited to  representatives  of  organizations  and  institutions
    33  representing  business,  labor,  local  government,  Indian  nations and

    35  consumer,  civic,  school  districts  or higher education interests. The
    36  committee by a majority vote shall elect a chairperson.  The  commission
    37  shall  meet  periodically  with  the  advisory committee, make available

    40  functions under this section. Members of the advisory committee shall be
    41  residents of the service area.
    42    5. The commission may employ and at pleasure remove such personnel  as
    43  it  may deem necessary for the performance of the commission's functions
    44  and fix their compensation within the amount appropriated therefor.  The
    45  commission  may  hold public and private hearings and otherwise have all
    46  of the powers of a legislative committee under this chapter. The members
    47  of the commission shall receive  no  compensation  for  their  services,
    48  except as provided pursuant to section five-a of this chapter, but shall
    49  be  allowed their actual and necessary expenses incurred in the perform-
    50  ance of their duties hereunder.
    51    6. Employees of the commission shall be considered to be employees  of
    52  the legislature for all purposes.

     2  having control of a fire department or fire company that have authorized
     3  such fire department or fire company to provide such service or services
     4  may  fix  a schedule of fees or charges to be paid by persons requesting
     5  such service or services. The  authorities  having  control  of  a  fire
     6  department  or  fire  company may provide for the collection of fees and
     7  charges or may formulate rules and regulations for the collection there-
     8  of by the fire department or fire company. When  fees  and  charges  are
     9  authorized  pursuant to this subdivision, the fees and charges collected
    10  shall be disbursed in accordance with a written  contract  entered  into
    11  between the authority having control of a fire department or fire compa-
    12  ny  and  the  fire department or fire company itself. If the authorities
    13  having control of a fire department or fire company have authorized such

    18  adhere  to  any  medical  assistance enrollment and billing requirements
    19  applicable to  such  services  prior  to  receiving  reimbursement.  The
    20  acceptance  by any firefighter of any personal remuneration or gratuity,
    21  directly or indirectly, from a person served shall be a ground  for  his
    22  or  her  expulsion  or  suspension as a member of the fire department or
    23  fire company.
    24    (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a) of  this  subdivi-

    26  for service shall enter into a contract with a provider or providers  of
    27  advanced  life  support  services  to provide such advanced life support
    28  services. Such contract shall  at  a  minimum  establish  the  fees  for
    29  advanced life support services and the means by which said provider will
    30  be  reimbursed  when  the  ambulance service bills for emergency medical
    31  service.
    32    (c) An emergency and general ambulance  service,  including  emergency

    34  health law, authorized pursuant to this section which does not  issue  a
    35  bill  for its services and which requests an Advanced Life Support (ALS)
    36  intercept from another ambulance service furnishing service in  an  area
    37  that  is  designated  as  a  rural  area by any law or regulation of the
    38  state, or that is located in a rural  census  tract  of  a  metropolitan
    39  statistical  area (as determined under the most recent Goldsmith Modifi-
    40  cation), shall pay the ambulance service providing the ALS intercept  an
    41  ALS  Rural  Intercept  Fee  at rates negotiated between the providers of
    42  such services. In the absence of any  agreed  upon  rates,  the  service
    43  receiving  such  ALS  intercept  shall pay the service providing the ALS
    44  intercept for such services at the usual  and  customary  charge,  which
    45  shall not be excessive or unreasonable.
    46    (d)  An  emergency  and general ambulance service, including emergency
    47  medical service as defined in section three thousand one of  the  public
    48  health  law,  authorized  pursuant  to this section to fix a schedule of
    49  fees or charges to  be  paid  by  persons  requesting  such  service  or
    50  services,  may  apply  such  fees and charges only within such service's
    51  primary response territory as assigned and evidenced by  a  valid  ambu-

    14  protection district pursuant to the provisions of this article, the town
    15  board shall provide for the furnishing of  fire  protection  within  the

    30  not  maintain  and  operate an ambulance then a separate contract may be
    31  made for the furnishing  within  the  district  of  emergency  ambulance
    32  service or general ambulance service, or both, with any city, village or
