BILL NUMBER:S8445
Title of bill
An act to amend the labor law and a chapter of the laws of 2010, amending the labor law relating to prevailing wages for service workers, as proposed in legislative bills numbers S.8379-A and A.10257-D, in relation to applicability of certain provisions in relation to such wages and the effective date of such chapter, and to repeal a provision of the labor law relating thereto
Purpose or general idea of bill
This bill will serve as a chapter amendment to bill numbers S.8379-A and A.10257-D.
Summary of specific provisions
Section 1 amends subdivision 2 of section 230 of the labor law by amending the definition of service work.
Section 2 repeals the subdivision 8 of section 231 of the labor law by amending the definition of service work.
Section 3 amends the effective date of bill numbers S.8379-A and A.10257-D.
Section 4 provides for the effective date.
Justification
For almost forty years, Article 9 of the Labor Law has promoted the public policy that workers who perform service work on behalf of public agencies should be paid the prevailing wage for such employment in their communities. Over that time, substantial experience has been gained over what provisions of the law require strengthening to prevent abuses. This bill clarifies the definitions and applicability of Article 9 and adds provisions that are analogous to several enforcement tools that have long been a part of Article 8, in order to ensure that prevailing wages are paid for all appropriate service work.
Prior legislative history
New bill.
Fiscal implications for state and local governments
Any fiscal impli- cations are completely dependent on specific agency/worksite circum- stances, including when current contracts or agreements expire or are up for renewal and what terms are negotiated in the future.
Effective date
This act shall take effect on the same date and in the same manner as a chapter of the laws of 2010 amending the labor law relating to prevailing wages for service workers, as proposed in legis- lative bills numbers S.8379-A and A.10257-D, takes effect.
