    Effective December 30, 2024, all bids and proposals for construction projects must include a copy of the bidder or proposer’s certificate of registration with the New York State Department of Labor (DOL). This requirement stems from Section 220-i of the Labor Law. Information on the DOL registration process and the portal to register can be found on the DOL's Contractor and Subcontractor website.
