 AN  ACT  to  amend  the  labor  law,  in relation to asbestos demolition
   surveys
 
   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

   Section 1. Subdivision 10 of section 241 of the labor law, as added by
 chapter 520 of the laws of 1989, is amended to read as follows:
   10.  Prior  to  advertising  for bids or contracting for or commencing
 work on any demolition work on  buildings  covered  under  this  section
 except  agricultural  buildings as defined in regulations promulgated by
 the commissioner [and except buildings the  construction  of  which  was
 begun  on  or  after  January first, nineteen hundred seventy-four], all
 owners and their agents, except owners of one and  two-family  dwellings
 who contract for but do not direct or control the work, shall conduct or
 cause  to be conducted a survey to determine whether or not the building
 to be demolished contains asbestos or asbestos material  as  defined  in
 section  nine  hundred  one  of  this  chapter.  Such  surveys  shall be
 conducted in conformance with rules and regulations promulgated  by  the
 commissioner.  Information derived from such survey shall be immediately
 transmitted to the commissioner and to  the  local  governmental  entity
 charged with issuing a permit for such demolition under applicable state
 or  local  laws  or,  if no such permit is required, to the town or city
 clerk. If such survey finds that a building to  be  demolished  contains
 asbestos  or asbestos material as defined by section nine hundred one of
 the chapter, no bids shall be advertised nor contracts awarded nor demo-
 lition work commenced by any owner or agent prior to  completion  of  an
 asbestos  remediation contract performed by a licensed asbestos contrac-
 tor as defined by section nine hundred one of this chapter.
   § 2. This act shall take effect on the ninetieth day  after  it  shall
 have become a law.

  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
