What A 8116 does, verified November 12, 2025
The bill aims to amend the Public Authorities Law to update the Syracuse Regional Airport's powers and authorities. The airport can now appoint its own officers, employees, and agents, and determine their qualifications, duties, and compensation. These appointments are subject to the provisions of the Civil Service Law and any applicable collective bargaining agreements. The airport can also contract for professional, management, or technical services and advice on a project basis. However, certain positions necessary for ensuring airport compliance with federal regulations will remain in the exempt class of the Civil Service Law. The changes take effect immediately.
