AN ACT directing the president of the civil service commission to  study
  and  publish a report evaluating wage disparities among public employ-
  ers

  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section  1.  Policy  of  the  state. It is the policy of this state to
pursue the establishment of equitable compensation relationships between
female-dominated, male-dominated, and other segregated titles to  elimi-
nate  wage  disparities  in  public employment statewide.   Compensation
relationships are equitable when the primary consideration in  negotiat-
ing, establishing, recommending, and approving total wages is the equiv-
alent value of the job title content in relationship to other job titles
and position classifications in civil service.
  S 2. Definitions. For the purposes of this act,
  (a)  the    term  "public  employer" shall have the same meaning as in
subdivision six of section 201 of the civil service law;
  (b) the term "position classification" shall have the same meaning  as
in subdivision eleven of section two of the civil service law;
  (c)  the  term  "equal jobs" shall mean jobs that are equal within the
meaning of the Equal Pay Act of 1963, 29 U.S.C. 206(d);
  (d) the term "equivalent jobs" shall mean jobs or occupations that are
equal within the meaning of  the  Equal  Pay  Act  of  1963,  29  U.S.C.
206(d),  or  jobs  or occupations that are dissimilar but whose require-
ments are equivalent when viewed as a composite of the  skills,  effort,
responsibilities and working conditions required by the work;

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
