A measure requiring construction and demolition projects in New York City to have general liability insurance has been signed into law by New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer.
The legislation, which is effective immediately, was signed by the governor on Tuesday. The bill is an amendment to the city's administrative code related to safety requirements during excavation.
Under the changes in the legislation, any one-story or 10-foot excavation work that is performed must provide supports for adjacent properties.
