Bill Summary

CONCERNING MEASURES TO EXPAND GENERAL CONTRACTOR ACCOUNTABILITY FOR WAGE CLAIMS INVOLVING CONTRACTORS IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY, AND, IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, MAKING AN APPROPRIATION.

AI Summary

This bill seeks to expand general contractor accountability for wage claims involving contractors in the construction industry in Colorado. The key provisions include: 1. Defining terms like "construction contract," "general contractor," "owner," and "subcontractor" to establish the scope of the law. 2. Requiring subcontractors to forward any written demand for payment to the general contractor and subjecting subcontractors to a fine for failure to do so. 3. Holding general contractors liable for all amounts owed to employees by their subcontractors, with provisions for subcontractors to indemnify general contractors. 4. Allowing general contractors to require certain information from subcontractors, such as pay data and details of any prior wage and hour violations. 5. Appropriating funds to the Department of Labor and Employment and the Department of Law to implement the new requirements. 6. Specifying an effective date of July 1, 2025, subject to a potential referendum petition. The bill aims to combat wage theft in the construction industry by incentivizing general contractors to ensure their subcontractors are paying workers properly and providing workers with a direct path to recover unpaid wages.
