New York State Financial Restructuring Board for Local Governments Archived Websites

The Financial Restructuring Board for Local Governments was created in 2013 (L. 2013, Ch. 67) and charged with reviewing upon request the finances and operations of any "fiscally eligible municipality," and disbursing at its discretion grants and loans to municipalities that requested such reviews. The board was also empowered to serve, at the request of select "fiscally eligible municipalities" and with the consent of labor unions representing their employees, as a binding arbitrator in collective bargaining impasses. The board was also authorized (L. 2013, Ch. 526) to reimburse municipalities for some or all of the costs associated with engaging the services of external advisers who helped them to develop multi-year financial plans.
