Bill > SB602

This bill establishes a comprehensive registration system for labor brokers in Pennsylvania, requiring them to register with the Department of Labor and Industry before supplying construction workers to employers. Labor brokers must apply for a biennial registration, paying a fee of up to $300, and provide detailed information about their business and ownership, including any prior criminal convictions or employee misclassification history. The bill mandates that labor brokers display their registration number on all advertisements and documents, and the department will maintain a public online verification system listing registered brokers. Violations of the registration requirements can result in significant penalties, including warning letters, fines up to $10,000 per violation, and potential debarment from future labor broker activities. The legislation aims to increase transparency and accountability in the construction labor market by ensuring that labor brokers meet certain standards and are properly documented. The bill includes provisions for investigating potential violations, allows the secretary to inspect workplaces and records, and establishes a dedicated Labor Broker Registration Account to manage fees and support enforcement efforts. The registration requirement will go into effect one year after the bill's passage, giving businesses time to prepare for the new regulatory framework.
