Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
I, Nelson A. Rockefeller, Governor of the State of New
					 York, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and Laws of
					 the State of New York, do hereby order as follows:
I. Purpose
It is the established policy of the State of New York to
					 require contractors and labor unions engaged in the construction,
					 reconstruction or rehabilitation of State and State-aided capital facilities to
					 take affirmative action in order to help to assure equal opportunity for
					 employment in the construction industry without discrimination because of race,
					 creed, color or national origin.
The purpose of this Order is to further employment
					 opportunities for minority group members in the construction industry in the
					 City of New York, by providing for the establishment of on-the-job training
					 programs to develop fully qualified journeymen eligible for consideration for
					 union membership. The policy of the State of New York is to foster the
					 development of such programs on a local area-wide, industry-wide basis by
					 appropriate industry and labor officials in cooperation with governmental and
					 minority community representatives.
II. On-the-Job Training on State Construction
				  and State-Assisted Construction Projects
The State Labor Department shall promulgate rules and
					 regulations for the establishment and operation of on-the-job training programs
					 to be instituted in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Training
					 Agreement, dated December 10, 1970, among the New York Building and
					 Construction Industry, Board of Urban Affairs Fund, the State of New York and
					 the City of New York, which is incorporated herein by reference (Training
					 Agreement).
Every contract let or approved by a State agency, including
					 appropriate public benefit corporations, for a construction or State-assisted
					 construction project in the City of New York shall contain provisions for an
					 on-the-job training program for minority individuals on the project in
					 accordance with provisions of this Order, the Training Agreement and rules and
					 regulations promulgated by the State Department of Labor.
The provisions of this Order shall be deemed to supplement
					 the basic standard contract provisions relating to affirmative action
					 promulgated by the Governor on September 12, 1963 [not filed with Department of
					 State], as heretofore and hereafter amended, and shall not be deemed to replace
					 them.
III. Implementation
1. This Order shall be implemented under the
				  direction of the State Labor Department, which shall distribute to all State
				  agencies a directive describing the details of acceptable training programs
				  which details shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of the Training
				  Agreement.
2. Under the provisions
				  of this Order, the State Labor Department shall review and coordinate its
				  activities as required by this Order with a State Construction Agency
				  Coordinating Committee, which shall be comprised of State representatives of
				  each State agency concerned with State Construction and State-assisted
				  Construction.
3. Among its duties,
				  the State Labor Department shall also recruit, screen and recommend for
				  placement minority individuals for appropriate jobs in training programs
				  pursuant to the provisions of this Order.
