Jonathan Bing

In 2009, the governor signed into law Bing's bill to increase criminal and civil penalties against those who falsify construction records or illegally assist people with government licensing examinations as had been alleged with regard to two crane accidents that occurred on the East Side in 2008.

[9] Bing served on the Assembly's Health; Housing; Insurance; Judiciary; Social Services; and Tourism, Parks, Arts & Sports Development Committees.

[citation needed] He stepped down from the Assembly in June 2011, when Governor Andrew Cuomo appointed him to supervise impaired insurance companies as Special Deputy Superintendent of the New York Liquidation Bureau.

He wrote the legal article "Protecting the Mentally Retarded from Capital Punishment: State Efforts Since Penry and Recommendations for the Future" for the N.Y.U.

[13] Bing lives in Turtle Bay with his wife, Meredith Ballew, Director of Fund Development for the Vanderbilt YMCA, and their daughter.
