AI Summary

This bill, titled the "Put Our Neighbors to Work Act of 2020," aims to improve congressional oversight and public transparency of military construction contract awards. It amends the existing law (Title 10 of the United States Code) to require the publication of additional information related to covered military construction contracts, such as solicitations for subcontracts, subcontracting plans, and exceptions or waivers granted. The bill also introduces local hire requirements, where contractors must prioritize hiring employees from the same state or within a 60-mile radius of the project location, and requires contractors to be licensed in the state where the work is performed. Additionally, the bill provides a small business credit for prime contractors who subcontract with local small businesses, doubling the value of such subcontracts for the purpose of meeting small business contracting goals.
