  Section  1. Section 223 of the labor law, as amended by chapter 929 of
the laws of 1935, is amended to read as follows:
  S 223. Enforcement of article. 1. If the  fiscal  officer  as  defined
herein  finds  that  any  person contracting with the state, a municipal
corporation, or any  commission  appointed  pursuant  to  law,  for  the
performance  of  any  public  work  fails  to  comply with or evades the
provisions of this article, he shall present evidence of  such  non-com-
pliance  or  evasion  to  the  officer,  department, board or commission
having charge of such work for enforcement.   [Wherein] SUBJECT  TO  THE
PROVISIONS  OF  SUBDIVISION  TWO  OF THIS SECTION, WHEREIN such evidence
indicates a non-compliance or evasion on the part of  a  sub-contractor,
the  contractor shall be responsible for such non-compliance or evasion.
It shall be the duty of any officer, department, board or commission  in
charge  of the construction of such public work contracts to enforce the
provisions of this article.
  2. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION  OF  LAW  TO  THE  CONTRARY,  A
CONTRACTOR  SHALL  BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE NON-COMPLIANCE OR EVASION OF A
SUBCONTRACTOR UNDER THIS ARTICLE ONLY IF THE EMPLOYEE OF THE SUBCONTRAC-
TOR, OR THE EMPLOYEE'S  COLLECTIVE  BARGAINING  REPRESENTATIVE,  JOINTLY
TRUSTEED  FUND OR ANY OTHER INTERESTED PARTY HAS PROVIDED VERIFIED WRIT-
TEN NOTIFICATION TO THE CONTRACTOR OF SUCH NON-COMPLIANCE OR EVASION  IN
ACCORDANCE  WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SUBDIVISION. SUCH NOTICE MUST BE
PROVIDED TO THE CONTRACTOR WITHIN ONE YEAR  OF  THE  DATE  OF  THE  LAST
ALLEGED UNDERPAYMENT.
