Bill Summary
Establishes registry of out-of-state contractors who are awarded public works contracts in this State.
AI Summary
This bill establishes a public registry maintained by the State Treasurer for out-of-state contractors who are awarded public works contracts in New Jersey, meaning contracts for construction, installation, or other work covered by specific state laws requiring prevailing wages. A "contractor" is defined broadly to include any business entity that enters into such contracts, including subcontractors, while an "out-of-state contractor" is specifically defined as a contractor whose main business location is not in New Jersey, excluding temporary or satellite offices. The registry will be publicly accessible online and will include details about the public works project, the contractor's trade name, owner name, and principal business address, and will be available in print or electronic format upon request.
