 department of labor to review labor costs for the Hudson  Valley  region

 impact  on  applying  an up to date cost index on public school building
 aid reimbursement.
   § 2. The department shall, on or before  March  1,  2022,  report  the
 findings,  conclusions  and  recommendations  of  the  study required by
 section one of this act to the governor, the temporary president of  the
 senate and the speaker of the assembly.
