Relates to the Long Island rail road commuter's council
This bill reduces the number of names county executives can submit to fill vacancies on the Long Island Rail Road Commuter's Council. Currently, county executives (for Nassau, Suffolk, Queens, and Brooklyn) submit three names per vacancy; the bill changes this to one name per county. The council, which consists of 13 commuter representatives, will now have vacancies filled using a single name per county instead of three. This change directly affects how Nassau, Suffolk, Queens, and Brooklyn county executives appoint members to the council.
