Bill > A08417

This bill extends the effectiveness of the September 11th worker protection task force act by amending the existing law to change its expiration date from June 10, 2025 to June 10, 2030. The bill is a straightforward legislative action that provides an additional five years for the task force to continue its work, which was originally established in 2005 to support and protect workers who were involved in the recovery and cleanup efforts following the September 11th terrorist attacks. By extending the act's sunset date, the New York State legislature ensures that workers who may still be experiencing health effects or need ongoing support related to their work at Ground Zero will continue to have access to protections and resources for an additional five years.
