Establishes a procedure for appointing a president or chairperson upon a vacancy of such position
This bill establishes a clear procedure for filling leadership vacancies in the New York State Urban Development Corporation. Specifically, it requires the governor to appoint a successor for the president or chairperson position (with Senate approval) to serve the remaining term when a vacancy occurs due to death, resignation, or other reasons, and allows for a temporary acting appointment for up to six months. The bill directly affects the governor, Senate, and the corporation's leadership structure.

MINOR
The bill was amended to allow the appointed president of the corporation to also serve as one of the directors, removing a previous restriction that separated these roles. Additionally, the text clarifying who is eligible to receive a salary was expanded to explicitly include the chairperson if they are not the president.
ELIGIBILITY
The requirement that the president cannot be one of the directors appointed by the governor was removed, allowing the same individual to hold both positions.
REQUIREMENT
The eligibility criteria for receiving a salary were updated to explicitly state that the chairperson is entitled to a salary if they are not also serving as the president.
