Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the labor law, in relation to prevailing wage requirements applicable to public works and construction projects performed under private contract
AI Summary
This bill expands the definition of "public works" and modifies prevailing wage requirements for construction projects in New York. It broadens the definition of public works to include any fixed works constructed or demolished by a public body or paid for wholly or partially with public funds, specifically encompassing projects financed through bonds, grants, loans, or other funds from the state or its political subdivisions. The bill also changes the criteria for "covered projects" subject to prevailing wage requirements by removing the previous threshold that required public funds to constitute at least 30% of total project costs. Now, any construction project costing over five million dollars that receives any public funding will be required to pay prevailing wages, which are standard pay rates for workers in specific trades and regions. This expansion aims to ensure fair compensation for workers on construction projects that receive public financial support, potentially increasing labor costs but also providing more consistent wage standards across different types of publicly-funded construction work.
