 STATE OF NEW YORK
 ________________________________________________________________________

 8168

 2025-2026 Regular Sessions

 IN SENATE

 May 16, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by Sen. KAVANAGH -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
 printed to be committed to the Committee on Housing, Construction and
 Community Development

 AN ACT to amend the executive law and the environmental conservation
 law, in relation to deconstruction and salvage of building
 construction, deconstruction, and demolition materials; and to amend
 the labor law, in relation to deconstruction contractor certification

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Short title. This act shall be known and may be cited as
 2 the "building materials reduction, reuse, and recycling act".
 3 § 2. Section 375 of the executive law is amended by adding a new
 4 subdivision 10 to read as follows:
 5 10. To, as soon as practicable and no later than eighteen months after
 6 the effective date of this subdivision, update the uniform fire
 7 prevention and building code to reflect any changes the council deems
 8 necessary and appropriate to support the salvage and reuse of valuable
 9 building materials and reduce the generation of construction and demoli-
 10 tion waste going to landfills, consistent with the purposes set forth in
 11 section three hundred ninety-two of this chapter.
 12 § 3. The executive law is amended by adding a new article 18-B to read
 13 as follows:

 S. 8168 2

 1 § 392. Legislative findings and intent. The legislature hereby finds
 2 and declares that the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act
 3 (CLCPA) of 2019 and the Climate Action Council's Scoping Plan Waste
 4 Sector Vision for 2050 call for a dramatic shift in the way waste is
 5 managed, to the point that landfills and combustors are only used spar-
 6 ingly for specific material streams, that reduction, reuse and and recy-
 7 cling of building materials are robust and ubiquitous practices, and
 8 that deconstructed building materials are processed separately to maxi-
 9 mize their continued usefulness. In New York state, local governments
 10 carry responsibility for materials management and solid waste management
 11 programming but lack targeted state funding to invest in systems
 12 supporting the deconstruction and salvage of valuable materials from
 13 buildings for reuse. Finally, the legislature also finds and declares
 14 that it is in the public interest, in order to further the purposes of
 15 the state policy on solid waste management articulated in section
 16
