Title of bill
An act to amend the labor law, in relation to prevailing wages for service workers
Purpose or general idea of bill
This chapter amendment clarifies sections of the bill to ensure the protection of utility ratepayers in upstate New York as well as to protect municipalities and business improvement districts from undue economic constraints which could hamper the delivery of services and economic growth.
Summary of specific provisions
