BILL NUMBER:S6164 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the labor law, in relation to exempting contractors employed by a municipality from payment of asbestos project notification fees for demolitions PURPOSE: To exempt contractors doing construction work under contract by a municipality from having to pay asbestos notification fees. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Section 1 Amends Section 904 of the labor law to exempt contractors employed by a municipality from having to pay asbestos notification fees. Section 2 is the effective date. JUSTIFICATION: The municipality or its asbestos contractors are respon- sible for performing and testing all removal work, so it is unclear what costs are incurred by the State from these projects. Further when conducting demolitions many of the structures in question are often large, have been subdivided and/or have garages or related accessory structures. This may lead to work at one site being deemed to be multi- ple asbestos projects rather than one, each of which requires submission of a separate asbestos notification fee to the state With the State playing no role in this situation, what levying of this fee amounts to is an unfunded mandate on municipalities that should not continue. PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: S 6829 Passed Senate in 2011
