TES Library of Materials
The office of Training and Educational Services (TES) provides training to State entities, government employees, lobbying firms, individual lobbyists and lobbying clients, and members of the public who wish to learn more about the responsibilities outlined in the Lobby Act, Public Officers Law, and Civil Service Law §107.
In 1988 the New York State Legislature enacted the State Agency Environmental Audit Law (Environmental Conservation Law §3-0311 ) which requires all N.Y.S. agencies and certain public authorities and public benefit corporations to conduct environmental self-audits of their operations every fiscal year. The law was amended in 1991 and in that amendment the Legislature declared: The operation of state entities should set an example for the state municipalities, private citizens, and businesses. . .
In the Commission's effort to reduce waste, save energy and conserve our precious resources Training and Educational Services has begun providing all its instructional materials in an environmentally friendly electronic format, rather than publishing them on paper. Whenever possible, training workshops will be “green” by only providing hard copy reference materials when absolutely necessary. This page contains electronic versions of our training materials.
