   read once and referred to the Committee on Labor
 
 AN  ACT  to  amend  the  administrative code of the city of New York, in
   relation to prevailing wage for certain city service contracts
 
   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

   Section  1. This act shall be known and may be cited as the "Close the
 Gap Act."
   § 2. Paragraphs 18, 19, 20 and 21 of subdivision a and  subdivision  b
 of  section 6-109 of the administrative code of the city of New York, as
 added by local law number 38 of the city of New York for the year  2002,
 are amended to read as follows:
   (18)  "Prevailing  Wage  and  Supplements"  means the rate of wage and
 supplemental benefits per hour paid in the locality to  workers  in  the
 same  trade  or occupation and annually determined by the comptroller in
 accordance with the provisions of section 234  of  the  New  York  state
 labor  law  or,  for titles not specifically enumerated in or covered by
 that law, determined by the comptroller at the request of a  contracting
 agency  or  a  covered  employer  in  accordance  with the procedures of
 section 234 of the New York state labor law; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT FOR
 ANY TRADE OR OCCUPATION IN WHICH 75 PER CENTUM OR MORE EMPLOYEES  ARE  A
 MEMBER  OF  THE  SAME  PROTECTED CLASS AND SUCH RATE OF WAGE AND SUPPLE-
 MENTAL BENEFITS WOULD BE LESS THAN THE LOWEST RATE OF A COVERED BUILDING
 SERVICES EMPLOYEE, THE PREVAILING WAGE AND SUPPLEMENTS  MAY  BE  GREATER
 THAN  THAT  PAID IN THE LOCALITY TO WORKERS IN THE SAME TRADE OR OCCUPA-
 TION.  As provided under section 231 of the New York  state  labor  law,
 the  obligation  of  an  employer  to  pay prevailing supplements may be
 discharged by furnishing any equivalent combinations of fringe  benefits
 or by making equivalent or differential payments in cash under rules and
 regulations established by the comptroller.
   (19)  ["Living Wage" has the meaning provided in paragraph 2 of subdi-
 vision b of this section.
   (20)] "Health Benefits" has the meaning provided in paragraph [3] 2 of
 subdivision b of this section.
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
