N.Y. Labor Law § 659: Reconsideration of wage orders and regulations

§ 659. Reconsideration of wage orders and regulations. 1. By wage

board. At any time after a minimum wage order has been in effect for six

months or more, the commissioner, on his own motion or on a petition of

fifty or more residents of the state engaged in or affected by the

occupation or occupations to which an order is applicable, may reconvene

the same wage board or appoint a new wage board to recommend whether or

not the minimum wage and regulations prescribed by such order should be

modified, and the provisions of section six hundred fifty-five through

six hundred fifty-seven shall thereafter apply.

2. By commissioner. The commissioner, without referral to the wage

board, may, at any time after public hearing, by order propose such

modifications of or additions to any regulations as he may deem

appropriate to effectuate the purposes of this article. Notice of

hearing and promulgation of any such order shall be published in

accordance with the provisions contained in section six hundred

fifty-six. Such order shall be effective thirty days after such

publication and section six hundred fifty-seven shall thereafter apply.
