Bill > S06430

This bill establishes new requirements for public works and construction contracts involving glazing work in New York State. Specifically, for renovation contracts exceeding $1 million and new construction contracts exceeding $5 million that are located outside of a city with a population of one million or more, the glazing work must be performed by North American Contractor Certification (NACC) certified companies. The bill introduces a phased approach to requiring Architectural Glass and Metal Technician (AGMT) certified workers on-site: starting July 2026, contractors must have at least one AGMT certified worker; by January 2027, each crew must have one AGMT certified worker on-site; by January 2028, 25% of each crew must be AGMT certified; and by January 2029, 50% of each crew must be AGMT certified. The bill defines "glazing work" broadly, including tasks like window replacement, curtain wall installation, glass partition work, handrail installation, storefront construction, and other architectural glass and metal installations. The legislation is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and aims to ensure higher standards and certification in glazing work across New York State.
