Bill > A01785

This bill amends the executive law to require that code enforcement personnel be compensated for mandatory training at a rate determined by the secretary of state. Specifically, the bill stipulates that the training compensation must be at least equal to the employee's regular rate of pay and cannot be less than any rate specified in a collective bargaining agreement. Code enforcement personnel typically include workers responsible for ensuring compliance with building, safety, and other local regulations. The new provision aims to ensure that these workers are fairly compensated for time spent in required training, recognizing that such training is an essential part of their professional responsibilities. The bill will go into effect 90 days after it becomes law, with provisions allowing for immediate preparation of any necessary rules or regulations to implement the new training compensation requirement.
