Maddy summaryThis bill prohibits elected municipal officials (like mayors, council members, or county officials) from serving on most local government agencies or industrial development authorities. It repeals an existing law and replaces it with a rule stating that agency members cannot hold such elected offices, with two key exceptions: industrial development authorities that must include elected officials (like Troy's board, which requires two common council members) and authorities whose entire board consists of elected officials from the chartering municipality. The bill specifically amends sections governing the Troy and Auburn industrial development authorities to align with this new restriction, ensuring existing exceptions remain valid. This is a procedural change to clarify eligibility rules for agency membership.

The key mechanism is a new section (402-a) in the Public Housing Law mandating legislative approval for all such contracts, effective immediately. This change applies to any sale or transfer of NYCHA-owned property to private buyers after the bill's enactment.
