AI Summary

This bill amends state laws to require increased workplace safety disclosure and oversight for certain government contracts. Specifically, it requires bidders on government contracts over $50,000 to disclose any Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) citations or violations against the company or its affiliated businesses within the past 4 years. It also requires contractors to disclose any such violations by their subcontractors. The awarding authority must consider this safety information in determining contract awards and can refer violations to the appropriate agencies.
