Bill Summary
Amending Title 62 (Procurement) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in source selection and contract formation, further providing for debarment or suspension.
AI Summary
This bill amends Pennsylvania's procurement laws by adding a new provision for debarment or suspension of contractors. Specifically, it adds a violation of the Wage Payment and Collection Law (a Pennsylvania statute from 1961) as a cause for debarring or suspending a contractor from participating in government contracts. The Wage Payment and Collection Law is designed to protect workers by ensuring they are paid properly and on time. By including violations of this law as a potential reason for debarment, the bill aims to incentivize contractors to comply with wage payment regulations and protect workers' rights. The amendment will take effect 60 days after its enactment, giving businesses time to understand and adapt to the new provision. This change represents a mechanism to enforce labor standards by potentially preventing contractors who violate wage laws from receiving government contracts.
