AI Summary
This bill aims to improve workplace safety and increase transparency around safety violations. It requires bidders on government procurement contracts over $50,000 to disclose any Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) citations, notices, or judgments against them or their affiliated businesses in the past 4 years, as well as any steps taken to correct violations. Awarding authorities must consider this information when determining if a bidder is responsible. The bill also requires contractors to disclose OSHA violations by their subcontractors. Additionally, the bill mandates that applicants for trench excavation permits disclose any prior OSHA violations, permit suspensions or revocations, fines, or site shutdowns related to trench work. This is intended to enhance oversight and accountability around workplace safety.
