Ammendment to NYS Escape System Law

[Monty 35]

Details of this amendment were recently sent to me. http://www.assembly.state.ny.us/leg/?bn=A09473 It seems that this change to the law has passed both the assembly and senate and is ready to be sent to the Governor for signing.

Unfortunately, it doesn't really change much. It does move the compliance date to November 1st 2008, assuming the Commissioner of Labor sets forth rules by May 1st.

As for funding - you are now able to use the Municipal Revolving Loan fund to buy these systems - but as this is a loan, of course you have to pay back the funds you borrow to comply with this law ....

So, looks like it's worth waiting to see what DOL has to say - presumably before May 1st.

Might take a while now to get the Governor to sign it. He's too busy playing the role of a "John."

Maybe it will be Gov Paterson's first bill signed in to law .....
