N.Y. Defense Emergency Act 1951 § 72 — Dispensing power on public work is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.
§ 72. Dispensing power on public work. During the existence of the defense emergency and subject to the provisions of this article, the industrial commissioner and, on appeal, the New York state board of standards and appeals are hereby authorized to grant dispensations to prevent the provisions of subdivision two of section two hundred twenty of the labor law from interfering with speedy construction of public work related to the defense effort and necessary for the success of the defense effort. Conditions and restrictions with respect to hours, wages, equipment, places or conditions of employment, persons that may be employed, or types of work in which certain persons may engage may be imposed in connection with such dispensations. Such an application by an agency of the state or of a political subdivision which will be a party to a public work contract may be made only prior to the letting of such contract.
