Title of bill
An act to amend the public authorities law, in relation to local hiring for certain projects
Purpose
To ensure entities receiving state funding for large projects give preference to hiring local employees.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 amends the public authorities law by adding a new section 1834-a providing any entity receiving state funding pursuant to a contractual agreement with the state or pursuant to any chapter of law shall give preference in hiring employees for the completion of projects with an anticipated cost exceeding one million dollars who reside within a ten mile radius of the location of such projects.
Section 2 provides this act shall take effect on the thirtieth day after it shall have become a law.
Existing law
None
Justification
Often times communities are promised large scale projects purporting to boost the local economy, yet qualified local residents are not hired to work on such projects. Local residents are the true stakeholders of these projects and they should receive hiring preference.
