Introduced  by  Sen.  ADAMS  -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
  printed to be committed to the Committee on Consumer Protection

AN ACT to amend the general business law, the  state  finance  law,  the
  general  obligations  law,  the  labor  law  and the executive law, in
  relation to enacting the "New York consumer and worker protection act"

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

  Section  1.  This act shall be known and may be cited as the "New York
consumer and worker protection act".
  S 2. The general business law is amended by adding a new article  24-D
to read as follows:

                              ARTICLE 24-D
               NEW YORK CONSUMER AND WORKER PROTECTION ACT
SECTION 375.   LEGISLATIVE INTENT.
        375-A. NOTICE CONCERNING OUTSOURCING OF JOBS.
        375-B. RATIFICATION OF CERTAIN AGREEMENTS.
  S 375. LEGISLATIVE INTENT. THE LEGISLATURE RECOGNIZES THE NECESSITY TO
STEM  THE  FLOW OF SKILLED AND UNSKILLED LABOR OUT OF NEW YORK STATE, TO
END NEW YORK STATE TAXPAYER SUBSIDIES FOR MOVING AMERICAN JOBS OVERSEAS,
TO PROTECT THE SECURITY OF  SENSITIVE,  PRIVATE  MEDICAL  AND  FINANCIAL
PERSONAL INFORMATION IN ORDER TO PREVENT IDENTITY THEFT AND OTHER FRAUD,
AND  TO  PREVENT  STATE  COMMITMENT TO GOVERNMENT PROCUREMENT AGREEMENTS
WITH FOREIGN COUNTRIES WITHOUT SUBJECTING SUCH AGREEMENTS  TO  RATIFICA-
TION  BY THE LEGISLATURE. IN MANY CASES, CONSUMERS ARE NOT INFORMED THAT

LATURE FINDS THAT WHILE THE PRACTICE OF OUTSOURCING JOBS MAY ALLOW FIRMS

THE  UNITED STATES IN THE LONG TERM IS DETRIMENTAL TO DOMESTIC TECHNICAL
ADVANCEMENT, JOB OPPORTUNITIES, WAGES AND CONSUMER PROTECTION.

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