AI Summary

This bill aims to remediate economic disparities in New York City and across the United States by authorizing certain city entities, such as the New York City government, school district, and industrial development agency, to establish employment goals and require contractors and subcontractors to make best efforts to hire qualified economically disadvantaged candidates and candidates from economically disadvantaged regions. The bill creates an Office of Community Hiring and Workforce Development to oversee this program, which includes setting rules for certification of eligible individuals, identifying referral sources, monitoring contractor compliance, and imposing penalties for non-compliance. The provisions of the bill are set to expire after five years, with exceptions for existing transactions. The bill also allows for the establishment of apprenticeship utilization requirements and project labor agreements.
