Bill > H2144

This bill introduces new transparency requirements for private construction projects valued over $750,000, specifically for developments with more than 10 residential units or commercial/industrial spaces larger than 5,000 square feet. The bill requires employers at these job sites to post a certificate of compliance from the department showing they are registered and current in their contributions to employee benefits and medical assistance programs. Additionally, employers must display workers' compensation carrier contact information and verify their current coverage. Furthermore, the bill mandates that all workers on the job site complete a detailed sign-in/sign-out log, which must include their name, signature, Massachusetts trade license number (if applicable), date, project location, and entry/exit times. Contractors and subcontractors must also provide these records for inspection by the Attorney General upon request. These provisions aim to increase accountability, ensure proper employee benefits and insurance coverage, and create a more transparent record of workers on construction sites.
