Bill > HB323

This bill establishes new eligibility requirements for nonprofit corporations seeking state contracts, funding, or grants in Pennsylvania. Specifically, a domestic or foreign nonprofit corporation with 200 or more employees will be ineligible if it has: (1) violated fair labor standards within the previous five years, (2) been found guilty of an unfair labor practice in the state within the previous five years, or (3) fails to have at least 20% of its governing board composed of current employees who are elected by the corporation's workforce. The bill includes an important exemption for health-care-related funding, including Medicaid reimbursements, and stipulates that these restrictions do not apply to labor violations that occurred before the law's effective date. The new requirements will apply to state contracts entered into or renewed, state funding approved, and state grants approved on or after the law's effective date, which is 60 days after passage. The goal appears to be ensuring that nonprofit corporations receiving state resources maintain fair labor practices and provide employee representation in their governance.
