        AN  ACT  to  amend  the  executive law, in relation to requiring certain
          entities when relying on statistics in  planning,  policy  enforcement
          and reporting be based on the worst-case scenario

          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:

     1    Section 1. The executive law is amended by adding a new section  170-g
     2  to read as follows:
     3    §  170-g. Worst-case scenario planning, policy enforcement and report-
     4  ing.  Every department, bureau, board,  commission,  authority,  or  any
     5  other  agency  or  instrumentality  of  the state shall, when relying on
     6  statistics in planning, policy  enforcement  and  reporting,  base  such
     7  planning,  policy  enforcement and reporting on the worst-case scenario.
     8  For the purpose of this section, the term "base  such  planning,  policy
     9  enforcement and reporting on the worst-case scenario" shall mean:
    10    1.  plans  are created with the highest degree of safety such that any
    11  plan will remain viable if the worst-case scenario occurs.
    12    2. policies are enforced to reduce  the  likelihood  of  a  worst-case
    13  scenario while assuming that the worst-case scenario is occurring.
    14    3. reports show the worst-case scenario statistics and findings if the
    15  statistics and findings are not absolute.
    16    § 2. This act shall take effect on the one hundred eightieth day after
    17  it  shall have become a law. Effective immediately, the addition, amend-
    18  ment and/or repeal of any rule or regulation necessary for the implemen-
    19  tation of this act on its effective date are authorized to be  made  and
    20  completed on or before such effective date.
