New York’s “Scaffold Law” costs millions, stifles business and costs jobs. This archaic law, long since repealed in every other state, adds thousands of dollars to the cost of new buildings and prevents economic growth. Reforming the Scaffold Law will make NY more competitive.

Stimulate the Economy

Small businesses and construction jobs drive economic growth. Reforming the Scaffold Law will make New York more competitive, and send the message that we are truly “open for business”.

Improved Safety

Reforming the Scaffold Law will increase accountability and provide incentives to improve workplace safety. Safer workplaces benefit everyone.

Create Jobs

Many businesses cannot afford to operate in New York. Reforming the Scaffold Law will create thousands of good paying, middle class jobs. Let’s put New Yorkers back to work!
