Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the labor law, in relation to requiring contractors and subcontractors performing construction work for covered renewable energy systems to have apprenticeship agreements; and to amend a chapter of the laws of 2025, amending the labor law relating to requiring contractors and subcontractors performing construction work for covered renewable energy systems to use apprenticeship agreements, as proposed in legislative bills numbers S. 4881-A and A. 2730-A, in relation to the effectiveness thereof

AI Summary

This bill amends existing labor law to require contractors and subcontractors working on "covered renewable energy systems" (which refers to projects like solar or wind farms) to have apprenticeship agreements, meaning they must be part of a registered apprenticeship program. It also clarifies that for thermal energy networks, these contractors and subcontractors must additionally have agreements with pre-apprenticeship programs that are registered with the department. The bill also adjusts the effective date and applicability of these requirements, specifying that they will take effect on September 1, 2026, and apply to contracts awarded for systems after that date, rather than immediately.
