Bill > SB1200

This bill transfers regulatory authority over construction labor contractors from the Bureau of Labor and Industries to the Construction Contractors Board (CCB), creating a new licensing and oversight framework for businesses that recruit, supply, or employ workers for construction projects. Specifically, the bill defines "construction labor contractors" as entities that recruit workers for construction jobs, establishes licensing requirements including surety bond amounts ($10,000 for up to 20 employees, $30,000 for more than 20), and outlines detailed provisions for licensing, record-keeping, worker protections, and potential penalties for violations. The bill includes provisions that prohibit construction labor contractors from making false representations about employment, inducing workers to violate existing contracts, employing undocumented workers, or compelling workers to give up wages. The new regulatory framework will become operative on January 1, 2026, allowing the Construction Contractors Board time to develop rules and prepare for implementation. The bill aims to provide more comprehensive oversight of labor recruitment in the construction industry, protecting both workers and employers by establishing clear standards and accountability mechanisms.
