                                       ___________
        Introduced by M. of A. CAHILL -- read once and referred to the Committee
          on  Labor  -- recommitted to the Committee on Labor in accordance with

        AN ACT to amend the labor law, in relation to enacting the  Unemployment
          Insurance Liability Act of 2016
          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
     1    Section 1. Short title. This act shall be known and may  be  cited  as
     2  the "Unemployment Insurance Liability Act of 2016".
     3    §  2.  Legislative findings. The legislature hereby finds and declares
     4  that employers that have  relocated  out  of  New  York  state  are  not
     5  required  to  make scheduled quarterly contributions to the unemployment
     6  insurance fund once they have left the state.
     7    The legislature further declares that this creates a continuing  hard-
     8  ship on the fund which threatens its solvency.
     9    Therefore, the legislature declares that employer contributions to the
    10  unemployment  insurance  fund shall continue even after the employer has
    11  left New York state, where former employees are receiving benefits.
    12    § 3. Subdivision 1 of section 562 of the  labor  law,  as  amended  by
    13  chapter 103 of the laws of 1965, is amended to read as follows:
    14     1.    Required coverage. (a)  Any employer who has once become liable
    15  for contributions under this article with respect to persons other  than
    16  persons  employed in personal or domestic service in private homes shall
    17  [cease to be liable as of] remain liable until  the  first  day  of  the
    18  calendar  quarter  next  following the filing of his written application
    19  provided the commissioner finds that the employer has not relocated  out
    20  of state or, with respect to [such] persons other than those employed in
    21  personal  or  domestic  service  in  private homes, paid remuneration of
    22  three hundred dollars or more in  any  of  the  four  calendar  quarters
    23  preceding such day.

                              [ ] is old law to be omitted.
