What’s in it
This bill requires that a contractor file certain specified information with the labor commissioner prior to the contractor performing any construction work on a public improvement project. The bill requires that a contractor file similar information with the labor commissioner about each person with which the contractor enters into a contract for the performance of any construction work on a public improvement project prior to the person performing any construction work on a public improvement project.
Read the full explanation
The required information includes the contractor or person’s name, address of principal place of business, and other specified contact information. The bill provides the labor commissioner with the authority under Code chapter 91C to investigate violations of and enforce the requirements of the bill, as well as to issue citations for such violations. Code chapter 91C provides for administrative penalties of not more than $500 in the case of a first violation and not more than $5,000 for each subsequent violation. The bill defines a “contractor” as any person that enters into a contract for the performance of construction work on a public improvement project. Current Code defines “public improvement” as any building or construction work which is constructed, repaired, remodeled, or demolished under the control of a governmental entity and is paid for in whole or in part with funds of the governmental entity, including a building or improvement constructed or operated jointly with any other public or private agency. The bill applies to contracts for public improvement projects awarded on or after January 1, 2021.
