Bill Summary

Relative to workplace safety

AI Summary

This bill aims to enhance workplace safety by requiring certain information disclosure and considerations in public procurement contracts. It mandates that procurement officers ensure bidders disclose any past Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) citations, notices, or judgements against them or their affiliated businesses within the last 4 years. Procurement officers must then consider this information when determining if a bidder is a responsible source. The bill also requires contractors to disclose OSHA violations by their subcontractors and keep this information updated. Additionally, the bill requires trench excavation permit applicants to disclose any past OSHA violations, permit suspensions or revocations, and prior trench site shutdowns.
