Bill > S06199

This bill establishes a new workforce disclosure requirement for construction projects receiving state financial assistance valued at $1 million or more. Under the new law, covered developers must provide quarterly workforce records to the New York Department of Labor, including detailed employee information such as hours worked, job titles, wages, addresses, and voluntary demographic data like gender and race. The bill defines "state financial assistance" broadly, covering support from various state entities like development corporations and industrial development agencies, but excluding municipal corporation funding. Starting July 1, 2026, developers must submit electronic reports with comprehensive workforce details, and the Department of Labor will be required to publish anonymized, aggregated data online by October 31, 2027, and submit a report to the governor every three years analyzing workforce trends. Developers must retain these records for six years after project completion, and violations can result in civil penalties up to $5,000, with a first-time opportunity to cure the violation. The law aims to increase transparency and understanding of workforce demographics in state-assisted construction projects.
