AI Summary

This bill establishes the Contractor Verification Act, which requires construction contractors in Pennsylvania to undergo verification by the Bureau of Consumer Protection in the Office of Attorney General. It defines "construction contractor" and the verification process, including application requirements, fee of up to $500, and establishment of the Construction Contractor Verification Account. The bill prohibits certain acts, such as operating without a verification certificate or contracting with unverified contractors, and empowers the Bureau to enforce the law, including through inspections, subpoenas, and penalties of up to $10,000 per violation. The bill also protects construction employees from retaliation for participating in investigations or reporting violations.
