 ___________

 Introduced by Sen. RAMOS -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
 printed to be committed to the Committee on Labor

 AN ACT to amend the labor law, in relation to the calculation of full-
 time employment for purposes of the federal public service loan
 forgiveness program

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Subdivision 1 of section 1001 of the labor law, as added by
 2 chapter 562 of the laws of 2022, is amended to read as follows:
 3 1. For faculty or teacher employees, a public service employer certi-
 4 fying employment after the effective date of the chapter of the laws of
 5 two thousand twenty-six that amended this subdivision shall credit
 6 [3.35] five hours worked for each hour of lecture or classroom time,
 7 regardless of when the hours were worked, including hours worked prior
 8 to the effective date of the chapter of the laws of two thousand twen-
 9 ty-six that amended this subdivision. This subdivision does not super-
 10 sede any greater adjustment factor established by a collective bargain-
 11 ing agreement or employer policy in recognition of additional work
 12 associated with lecture or classroom time for the purpose of the public
 13 service loan forgiveness program.
 14 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
