Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to certain construction projects
AI Summary
This bill defines "construction projects" as the construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, or improvement of school buildings in the Long Island region where a school district receives debt service or building aid, with a total estimated contract cost of one million dollars or more. The bill requires that all such construction projects use a project labor agreement (PLA), which is a pre-hire collective bargaining agreement between contractors and labor unions that establishes the terms and conditions of employment for a specific construction project. The PLA would apply to all contractors and subcontractors working on the project, and the bill exempts these projects from certain municipal law requirements related to separate specifications when a project labor agreement is in place. The legislation is set to take effect on January 1, 2026, and will apply to all construction projects bid on or after that date, specifically targeting school building improvements in the Long Island area.
