Bill > S07074

This bill addresses requirements for contractors and subcontractors working with cable television companies by establishing new penalties and wage standards. Specifically, the bill stipulates that contractors and subcontractors to cable television companies who are assessed penalties for two separate violations of payroll reporting requirements will be barred from bidding on or being awarded any public work contracts with state, municipal, or public entities for a period of five years. Additionally, the bill extends the definition of "utility company" to include cable television companies, which means they will now be subject to prevailing wage requirements for certain excavation projects. This means workers on these projects must be paid at least the standard wage rate for their type of work in a given geographic area. The provisions aim to ensure proper payroll reporting, fair compensation for workers, and accountability for contractors in the cable television industry. The bill will take effect immediately upon passage.
