Bill Summary
This bill requires the State Treasurer to establish and maintain an up-to-date and public registry of out-of-state contactors who are awarded contracts to engage in the performance of public works projects in this State. The registry would include, but need not be limited to, a description of the public works project of each out-of-state contractor operating in this State along with the trade name, owner name, and principal business address of that out-of-state contractor. The State Treasurer must prominently display the registry on a website maintained by the Department of the Treasury and distribute a printed or electronic copy of the registry to any contractor, out-of-state contractor, or public body, upon request. As used in the bill, "contractor" means a person, partnership, association, joint stock company, trust, corporation, or other legal business entity or successor thereof who enters into a contract which is subject to the provisions of the "New Jersey Prevailing Wage Act" and "The Public Works Contractor Registration Act," and includes any subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor of a contractor as defined herein; and "out-of-state contractor" means a contractor, including a subcontractor, whose principal place of business is not in this State. A "principal place of business" does not include a satellite office, an office maintained, occupied, and used by an out-of-state contractor only for the duration of a contract, or an office maintained, occupied, and used by a person affiliated with an out-of-state contractor.
AI Summary
This bill mandates the creation and maintenance of a public registry by the State Treasurer for contractors from outside the state who are awarded contracts for public works projects within New Jersey. A "contractor" is defined as any business entity entering into a contract subject to the "New Jersey Prevailing Wage Act" and "The Public Works Contractor Registration Act," which includes subcontractors. An "out-of-state contractor" is specifically identified as a contractor whose main business location is not in New Jersey, with exclusions for temporary offices or satellite locations. The registry will list details about these out-of-state contractors and their projects, such as their trade name, owner's name, principal business address, and a description of the public works project. This registry will be accessible on the Department of the Treasury's website and available in print or electronic format upon request to any interested party, including other contractors and public bodies.
