N.Y. Emergency Housing Rent Control Law 274/46 337/61 § 3: Temporary state housing rent commission

§ 3. Temporary state housing rent commission. 1. There is hereby

created a temporary state commission, to be known as the temporary state

housing rent commission. Such commission shall consist of one

commissioner, to be known as the state rent administrator, who shall be

appointed by the governor, by and with the advice and consent of the

senate, and who shall serve during the pleasure of the governor. He

shall receive an annual salary to be provided by law. He shall be

entitled to his expenses actually and necessarily incurred by him in the

performance of his duties.

2. The commission shall establish and maintain such offices within the

state as the commission may deem necessary, and shall designate one of

them as its principal office. The commission may appoint such officers,

counsel, employees and agents as the commission may deem necessary, fix

their compensation within the limitations provided by law, and prescribe

their duties. All employees of the commission shall be appointed in

accordance with the provisions of the civil service law and rules.

3. Any officer or employee under federal or municipal civil service

selected by the commission may, with the consent of the appropriate

governmental agency by which he is or has been employed, be transferred

without further examination or qualification to comparable offices,

positions and employment under the commission. Any such officer or

employee who has been appointed to an office or position under the rules

and classifications of the state or any municipal civil service

commission, shall retain, upon such transfer, the civil service

classification and status which he had prior to such transfer. Any such

officer or employee who at the time of transfer has a temporary or

provisional appointment shall be subject to removal, examination or

termination as though such transfer had not been made. The commission

may, by agreement with the appropriate federal agency and state civil

service commission, make similar provision for any federal officer or

employee so transferred. Notwithstanding the provisions of any other

law, any such officer or employee so transferred, pursuant to the

provisions of this section, who is a member or beneficiary under any

existing municipal pension or retirement system, shall continue to have

all rights, privileges, obligations and status with respect to such

fund, system or systems as are now prescribed by law, but during the

period of his employment by the commission, all contributions to any

pension or retirement fund or system to be paid by the employer on

account of such officer or employee, shall be paid by the commission.

The commission may by agreement with the appropriate federal agency,

make similar provisions relating to retirement for any federal officer

or employee so transferred.
