NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
BILL NUMBER: A6451
SPONSOR: Carroll R (MS) TITLE OF BILL:
An act to amend the public authorities law, in relation to capital
program plans
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:
Relates to changing the date of submission of the capital program plan
to the capital program review board.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Amends section 1269-b of the public authorities law to So that each MTA
capital program plan is submitted the CPRB a year before it will take
effect.
JUSTIFICATION:
This bill would move up the date by which the MTA is required to submit
its five-year capital plan to the capital program review board (CPRB).
Currently, public authorities law requires the authority to submit the
plan every fifth year by October first, in preparation for every five-
year capital plan. This bill would move up the date to require such
submission on or before May 1, 2026, and then January 31 every fifth
year there-after. For the MTA's upcoming 2026-2031 capital plan and
every following plan, this bill would require the plan to be provided to
the CPRB during the legislative session. This shift would allow for a
longer period for the public to voice concerns and allow the legislature
to have more of a constructive input in the MTA's five-year capital
plans.
