BILL NUMBER:S2379
Title of bill
An act to amend the labor law, in relation to eliminating the delivery of fossil fuel from those building services for which municipalities are required to pay prevailing wage
Purpose
This bill would eliminate the delivery of fossil fuel from those building services for which municipalities are required to pay prevailing wage.
Summary of provisions
Amends section 230(1) of the labor law to remove the transportation and delivery of fossil fuel from the definition of "building service employee."
Justification
With the ever increasing cost of fossil fuels placing a greater burden on local taxpayers, the state should be doing everything we can to ensure that our villages, towns and counties are able to purchase gasoline, diesel fuel and heating oil at the most reasonable cost available.
This bill seeks to accomplish that by placing the delivery of fossil fuel in the same category as other utility related services including contracts for the delivery of electric light and power, water, steam and gas which are not subject to the provisions of prevailing wage. In this day and age, it only makes sense and will greatly assist municipalities all across New York State with contracting for the purchase and delivery of fossil fuels without overburdening the property taxpayer.
