An act to amend the labor law, in relation to authoriz- ing the commissioner of labor to implement rules and regulations concerning the removal of lead, asbestos and other hazardous wastes
Purpose
Authorizes the commissioner of labor to implement rules and regulations regarding the removal of lead, asbestos, and other hazardous waste.
Summary of provisions
Adds a new subdivision 6 to section 902 of the labor law. Licensing and Certification standards shall be established by the commissioner for the removal of lead, asbestos, and other hazardous materials. Any person possessing a valid license or certificate for the removal of lead, asbestos, or other hazardous material prior to January first, in the year preceding the effective date of this legislation, shall be grandfathered under the provisions pursuant to paragraph (a) of this subdivision.

Fiscal implications
This bill would have an impact on the Department. Once rules and regulations regarding the licensing and certification of the removal of lead, asbestos or other hazardous material are promulgat- ed the Department will have to process approximately 6,000 lead applica- tions annually. The department of labor estimates it will be necessary to hire at least two Grade 9 Keyboard Specialists in order to handle the increased workload. The estimate cost of these positions is $125,000.
