A 175 New York Assembly · 2023 Regular Session

Relates to the organization of the Port Authority

This bill reorganizes the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey by establishing a new Transportation Advisory Committee and updating the rules for selecting its commissioners. It mandates that the twelve voting commissioners be appointed by the governors of New York and New Jersey with state senate approval, requiring them to have specific professional experience and limiting them to two six-year terms. Additionally, the legislation creates four non-voting commissioner positions to represent mass transit riders and labor organizations from both states. The bill also introduces a formal whistleblower program to protect employees who report corruption or misconduct and expands the inspector general's authority to investigate complaints regarding fraud, waste, and abuse.
