NY A04189

Establishes the "Protection and Oversight of Worker Enforcement Rights (POWER) Act" granting New York City's Comptroller authority to enforce and investigate state minimum wage violations

Authorizes the NYC Comptroller to enforce various labor law provisions including wage payment requirements, prevailing wage standards, and worker protection regulations

Grants the Comptroller enforcement powers equivalent to the state Labor Commissioner, including authority to inspect premises, issue subpoenas, administer oaths, examine witnesses, and inspect business records

Allows enforcement of local laws, ordinances, and regulations requiring minimum wage payment or establishing labor standards for work within city boundaries

Preserves the state Department of Labor's existing enforcement authority, ensuring local enforcement supplements rather than replaces state oversight
