The long-awaited final rule for the attachment of prevailing wages to aggregate hauling has been adopted and will be published in the State Register on May 31, 2023. After passing both the Assembly and Senate, the bill(A.8727/S.7811) was signed by Governor Hochul on February 24, 2022, amending paragraph f of subdivision 3-a of section 220 of the labor law relating to the payment of prevailing wage for work involving the delivery to and hauling of aggregate supply construction materials. Paragraph f is amended to read as follows: f. Prevailing wage shall be paid for work performed on a public works [project] worksite pursuant to this section for any work involving the delivery to and hauling from such [projects] worksites of aggregate supply construction materials, as well as any return hauls, whether empty or loaded and any time spent loading/unloading. (NOTE: Matter in italics is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.) This rule goes into effect immediately when published on May 31, 2023 and the Bureau of Public Work will start enforcement that same day. Click here to read more in the “New Legislation” section on the Department of Labor’s prevailing wage webpage for further details. Concerns still remain regarding how this is going to work in actual day-to-day operations. ECA expects there to be continued dialogue on this topic and we will keep you informed of any updates along the way.
