The sponsor's argument

Why Shelley Mayer says this is needed

The New York State Constitution makes clear that it is the public policy of New York to pay the prevailing wage to those working on publicly financed construction projects. Prior to 2021, not all workers on the projects originally intended to be covered were protected. In 2021, subdivision 3-a of section 220 of the labor law was amended by adding a new paragraph f which provided that prevailing wage shall be paid for the hauling of "aggregate supply construction materials" to and from "public works projects." L. 2021 Ch. 823. In 2022, paragraph f was amended to refer to "worksites" rather than "projects." L. 2022 Ch. 119. The intent of these changes were to rectify inequities for the drivers who deliver aggregate supply construction materials or products to and from public works project sites. The Department of Labor subsequently issued regulations defining "aggre- gate supply construction materials" as "sand, gravel, stone, crushed stone, dirt, soil, millings, and fill." 12 NYCRR 222.1. This bill would require that prevailing wage also be paid for the hauling of concrete and asphalt to and from public works worksites in the counties of Nassau, Putnam, Suffolk, and Westchester, and in the city of New York.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
