Bill > H3060

This bill aims to further regulate state contracts and subcontracts in Massachusetts. The key provisions are: 1. Offerors (entities bidding on state contracts) must represent whether they have had any administrative, arbitral, or civil judgments against them in the past three years for violations of various workplace laws, including laws related to health and safety, wages, and civil rights. 2. Offerors must also require their subcontractors to make similar representations about their compliance with workplace laws. 3. State contracting officers, in consultation with the Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development, must consider the information provided by offerors when determining whether to award a contract. 4. Awarded contractors must update the compliance information every six months, and the state contracting officer can require remedial measures, compliance assistance, or other actions if the information warrants it. The bill aims to promote fair pay and safe workplaces for employees of entities doing business with the state government.
