* §   231-a.   Prevailing   wage   for  covered  airport  workers.  1.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, rule, or regulation  to  the
contrary, as used in this section, the term "wage" shall mean: (a) basic
hourly  cash  rate  of  pay; and (b) supplements. The term "supplements"
shall mean fringe benefits including medical or hospital care,  pensions
on  retirement  or death, compensation for injuries or illness resulting
from  occupational  activity,  or  insurance  to  provide  any  of   the
foregoing,   unemployment   benefits,  life  insurance,  disability  and
sickness insurance, accident  insurance,  and  other  bona  fide  fringe
benefits  not  otherwise  required  by federal, state or local law to be
provided by a covered airport employer.
  2. Not earlier than September first, two  thousand  twenty-one,  every
covered airport employer shall pay a covered airport worker working at a
covered  airport location a wage of not less than the prevailing wage in
the locality for the craft, trade, or occupation of such covered airport
worker.
  3. The obligation of a covered  airport  employer  to  pay  prevailing
supplements  may be discharged by furnishing any equivalent combinations
of fringe benefits or by making equivalent or differential  payments  in
cash under rules and regulations established by the fiscal officer.
  4. Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, rule, or regulation to
the  contrary,  for the purposes of this section "prevailing wage" shall
mean the wage determined by the fiscal officer to be prevailing for  the
various  classes  of  covered airport workers in the locality; provided,
however, that in no event shall the  prevailing  wage  applicable  to  a
covered  airport  worker  on  and  after  September  first, two thousand
twenty-one and every year thereafter be less than the following: (a) any
otherwise applicable minimum wage rate established through a  policy  of
the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey; and
  (b) an amount of wages or supplements equal to the rate for health and
welfare  for  all occupations, designated by the fiscal officer based on
the determinations made by the federal department of labor  pursuant  to
the  McNamara-O'Hara  Service Contract Act of 1965 41 U.S.C. 6701 et seq
for the geographic region in  which  the  covered  airport  location  is
located  and  in  effect  on  the  date of the designation by the fiscal
officer.
  5. On or before September first,  two  thousand  twenty-one  and  each
subsequent  September first, the fiscal officer shall designate the wage
and  supplemental  benefits  rate  required  under   this   section   by
classification  and region in which each covered airport is located. The
fiscal officer shall publicly post such designated wage rate.
  6. Nothing in this article shall be  deemed  to  alter  or  limit  any
employer's  obligation  to  pay any otherwise applicable prevailing wage
under any other provision of this  article  or  article  eight  of  this
chapter.
