Tell Congress: End Taxpayer Waste from NY’s Outdated Scaffold Law
Big I New York is leading the charge to save federal taxpayer dollars and tackle serious insurance marketplace concerns by modernizing how New York Labor Law Sections 240 and 241 impact federally funded infrastructure projects.
You can help by urging your member of Congress to support the federal Infrastructure Expansion Act of 2025.
H.R. 3548 proposes a simple, commonsense way to help partially address the Scaffold Law: applying a comparative negligence standard to elevation- and gravity-related injury claims on projects receiving federal funding. This would ensure fairer outcomes and lower costs for federally funded projects, without compromising worker safety.
