A 3451 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to the establishment of a wage data clearinghouse

This bill establishes a wage data clearinghouse to analyze existing unemployment insurance and labor data, aiming to evaluate workforce development programs and identify training gaps. It directs the labor commissioner to select an academic institution (with $600,000 in funding) to run the clearinghouse, using state/federal data while protecting personally identifiable information. The clearinghouse will produce reports for state agencies, employers, and educational providers to improve workforce training effectiveness, with annual evaluations required for the program.

MINOR

This bill was amended to update its legislative history and modify the composition of the advisory board that oversees the wage data clearinghouse. The main substantive change involves how public members of the advisory board are appointed, shifting from Speaker and Senate Majority Leader appointments to a more balanced representation including the Minority Leaders of both chambers.

REQUIREMENT

The appointment process for public members of the wage data clearinghouse advisory board was changed. Previously, three public members were appointed by the Speaker of the Assembly and three by the Senate Majority Leader. Now, two are appointed by the Speaker, one by the Assembly Minority Leader, two by the Senate Majority Leader, and one by the Senate Minority Leader, creating more bipartisan representation.

TECHNICAL

Minor formatting and text cleanup changes were made throughout the document, including updating the bill number designation from '3451' to '3451--A' and adjusting line breaks and hyphenation in the text.

The bill's introduction history was updated to reflect that it was recommitted to the Committee on Labor after being reported from the Committee on Ways and Means, and that it was amended before being sent back to the committee.
