BIE is unable to provide an answer to those two questions.  It seems our elected officials continuously create rules, regulations, and laws that adversely impact construction industry employers across New York State.  That is why BIE is engaged in, and supports, legislative initiatives which are in the best interest of construction contractors, project owners, the construction industry in general and New York State taxpayers.

BIE has a staff eager to assist employers who have questions.  We prefer speaking with people on the phone, so call Elizabeth Conrad at 315-437-4050  or if you prefer to email Elizabeth with your question you may do so at econrad@syrabex.com.
