Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act to amend chapter 206 of the laws of 1974 amending the labor law, relating to industry work practices, procedures and standards applicable to energized high voltage lines for employee safety, in relation to the effective date thereof
Purpose
Makes permanent Section 207-a of the Labor Law.
Justification
The men and women who, day in and day out, work on high voltage lines do so realizing it is a very dangerous profession. These individuals deserve not only our praise and thanks but also our best efforts in ensuring that they are provided with the tools they need to make this job as safe as possible.
As part of that, section 107-a of the labor law seeks to improve the safety and security of these employees. There is no doubt that this statute has worked well and should, without a doubt, be made permanent.
