What This Bill Does
- Requires contractors to fully disclose any specified history of wage and hour violations before submitting a bid for a local public works contract.
- Mandates that contractors provide supporting documentation along with their disclosure of violations.
- Allows local agencies to disqualify bids from contractors who do not submit the required information or documentation.
- Requires local agencies to create an official process so contractors can appeal if they are disqualified from a bid.
Who It Names or Affects
- Contractors bidding on public works contracts with local government agencies.
- Local government agencies that award these construction contracts.
Limits and Unknowns
- This law does not apply to contracts covered by a project labor agreement.
- This law does not apply if the local agency already requires contractors to prequalify before they can bid.
- The bill states that no state reimbursement is required for costs this act creates, but it only mentions 'a specified reason' without explaining what that reason is.
