Establishes the New York state worker protection and labor enforcement fund
This bill creates the New York State Worker Protection and Labor Enforcement Fund to support the Department of Labor's enforcement activities. The fund will be filled with money recovered from employer violations of specific labor laws (covering wages, safety, and other worker protections) and other designated sources. Funds can only be used to supplement labor enforcement efforts, such as hiring staff or conducting investigations, and must be reported annually to state leaders and the public. The fund becomes operational on April 1, 2026.
