BILL NUMBER:S8135 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the labor law, in relation to prevailing wages for service workers PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: This chapter amendment clarifies sections of the bill to ensure the protection of utility ratepayers in upstate New York as well as to protect municipalities and business improvement districts from undue economic constraints which could hamper the delivery of services and economic growth. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: The chapter amendment clarifies the definition of public utilities affected to include service territory. The chapter amendment also removes business improvement districts from provisions of the bill. JUSTIFICATION: The original legislation would cause economic hardship on upstate busi- ness improvement districts delivering critical services for munici- palities such as those in Syracuse, Buffalo and Rochester as well as those in NYC. Additionally, upstate utility ratepayers would see drastic rate increases as a result of the original bill provisions.
