AN ACT to amend the labor law, in relation to hours, wages  and  supple-

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Subdivision 2 of section 220 of the labor law,  as  amended
by chapter 678 of the laws of 2007, is amended to read as follows:
  2.  [Each]  EVERY  contract  [to  which  the state or a public benefit
corporation or a municipal corporation or a commission appointed  pursu-
ant  to law is a party, and any contract for public work entered into by
a third party acting in place of, on behalf of and for  the  benefit  of
such  public  entity  pursuant  to  any lease, permit or other agreement
between such third party and the public entity, and  which  may  involve
the  employment of laborers, workers or mechanics] FOR PUBLIC WORK shall
contain a stipulation that no laborer, worker or mechanic in the  employ
of the contractor, subcontractor or other person doing or contracting to
do the whole or a part of the work contemplated by the contract shall be
permitted  or required to work more than eight hours in any one calendar
day or more than five days in any one week except in cases  of  extraor-
dinary emergency including fire, flood or danger to life or property. No
such  person  shall  be  so employed more than eight hours in any day or
more than five days in any one week except in such  emergency.  Extraor-
dinary  emergency  within the meaning of this section shall be deemed to
include situations in which sufficient laborers, workers  and  mechanics
cannot  be employed to carry on public work expeditiously as a result of
such restrictions upon the number of hours and days  of  labor  and  the
immediate  commencement or prosecution or completion without undue delay
of the public work is necessary in the judgment of the commissioner  for
the preservation of the contract site and for the protection of the life
and  limb  of  the  persons  using the same. Upon the application of any
