Relates to removing the salary of the chair of NYSERDA
This bill removes the salary for the chair of NYSERDA (New York State Energy Research and Development Authority), making the position unpaid. It also allows the chair to engage in private employment without restriction, which previously required approval. The bill amends specific sections of state law to change compensation rules for the chair and clarify private employment rights. These changes apply directly to the NYSERDA chair and take effect immediately upon signing.
