I've filed a false positive report with Avast on this. I'm posting it here in case anyone is able to help speed up their response.
These websites:
hxtps://www.nytrainingservices.com/
hxtps://www.nytrainingservices.com/healthassistors
are official New York State training websites for people who operate under New York State Department of Health contracts to help people purchase health insurance.
A recent VirusTotal scan finds no issues (a scan from a year ago had one vendor reporting an issue but that vendor now reports the website as clean).
Avast Business Pro is blocking these sites as "URL:Phishing".
This is a website that many of our employees use frequently, and so it is important to correct this issue quickly.
Thanks for your support.

Hi KDibble,
Probably the reason was Scamvertising on basis of IP abuse reports:
https://www.abuseipdb.com/check/198.49.23.145
Here it was not flagged: https://quttera.com/detailed_report/www.nytrainingservices.com
A mere 4% of content being blocked for me at this site. Trend Micro gives it the all green.
Wait for a final verdict from an avast team member, as avast team are the only ones to come and unblock,
we here are just volunteers with relative knowledge in the field of 3rd party cold recon website security and error-hunting,

Javascript resources seem all OK.
