Authorizes the commissioner of labor and the workers' compensation board to issue stop-work orders; establishes procedure for the issuance of such orders; establishes penalties for failure to comply with such orders.

This bill allows New York's labor commissioner and the workers' compensation board to issue stop-work orders to businesses that are not complying with labor laws. It also sets out a clear process for how these orders can be issued and outlines penalties for businesses that do not follow these orders. Essentially, it aims to enforce labor regulations more effectively.

Supporters of the bill argue that it will enhance worker protections by ensuring that employers adhere to labor laws, thereby promoting safer and fairer workplaces. They believe that the ability to issue stop-work orders will deter violations and help maintain a level playing field for businesses that do comply with regulations.

Critics of the bill may contend that it gives too much power to government officials, potentially leading to overreach and unnecessary disruptions for businesses. They might argue that the penalties for non-compliance could be overly harsh and could harm small businesses struggling to navigate complex regulations.
