A 9633 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Repeals the scaffolding law

This bill repeals sections 240 and 241 of New York's labor law, commonly known as the "scaffolding law," which imposed liability for injuries during construction work performed at elevated heights. It also amends other laws to remove references to these repealed sections, ensuring consistency across labor and construction regulations. The bill directly affects construction workers, employers, and contractors who previously had to comply with the liability standards for elevated work. The key change eliminates a legal framework requiring accountability for specific construction-related injury claims at height, streamlining related regulations without creating new obligations.
