BILL NUMBER:S5338 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the labor law, in relation to prevailing wage for service workers PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: This bill strengthens and clarifies Article 9 of the Labor Law to ensure that workers employed to provide service work for the benefit of public agencies are paid the prevailing wages to which the law entitles them. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: The bill amends section 230 of the Labor Law by including within the definition of "building service employee or employee", those performing work at the facilities of public agencies that provide public utility services. It amends the applicable dollar amount threshold of contracts with public agencies covered by Section 230. It makes clear that the amendments will not apply to any employees performing work for a business improvement district (BID) that is not covered under the current law. Those BIDs that are currently covered by the requirement of Article 9 will continue to be. The definition of "public agency" is amended to include public utility services provided by a public authority or by a public utility selling gas, electric or steam services at retail rates under a franchise
