BILL NUMBER:A10655
Title of bill
An act to amend the labor law, in relation to munici- palities which fail to enforce prevailing wage requirements of contrac- tors on public works projects
Purpose or general idea of bill
Creates fines for municipalities which fail to enforce prevailing wages paid by contractors in public works projects, 10% of the project cost.
Summary of specific provisions
Section 220, subdivision 3 of the labor law is amended by adding paragraph (f)
Justification
A few years ago many Long Island municipalities were investigated and found not to be enforcing prevailing wage laws. Work- ers were being shortchanged wages, and those companies complying with the laws were not on an equal playing field when bidding on municipal work contracts. This bill will put more pressure on municipalities to see to it that these laws are rightfully enforced.
Prior legislative history

Fiscal implications
None, if prevailing wage laws are being enforced as required by law. If municipalities are not enforcing the fiscal impli- cations will be determined by their own action on enforcement.
Effective date
This act shall take effect immediately.
