Relates to the organization of the Port Authority

This bill reorganizes the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey by establishing a new Transportation Advisory Committee and updating the rules for selecting its commissioners. It requires that voting commissioners have specific professional experience in areas like transportation and finance, while also mandating that one New York member be recommended by the mayor of New York City. The legislation adds four non-voting commissioners to represent transit riders and labor organizations, ensuring their voices are included in the authority's governance. Additionally, the bill strengthens protections for whistleblowers by creating a confidential reporting program and expanding the Inspector General's authority to investigate fraud, waste, and abuse. These changes aim to improve oversight and accountability within the agency without altering its core operational functions.
