N.Y. Defense Emergency Act 1951 784/51 § 72: Dispensing power on public work

§ 72. Dispensing power on public work. During the existence of the

defense emergency and subject to the provisions of this article, the

industrial commissioner and, on appeal, the New York state board of

standards and appeals are hereby authorized to grant dispensations to

prevent the provisions of subdivision two of section two hundred twenty

of the labor law from interfering with speedy construction of public

work related to the defense effort and necessary for the success of the

defense effort. Conditions and restrictions with respect to hours,

wages, equipment, places or conditions of employment, persons that may

be employed, or types of work in which certain persons may engage may be

imposed in connection with such dispensations. Such an application by an

agency of the state or of a political subdivision which will be a party

to a public work contract may be made only prior to the letting of such

contract.
