Bill Summary

Relative to penalties for public contractors who have been debarred. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill amends existing laws to strengthen penalties for public contractors who have been debarred, or prohibited from participating in public contracts. The bill makes it mandatory, rather than optional, for state agencies to impose debarment in cases where debarment is required by law. It also introduces criminal penalties, including fines and imprisonment, for contractors who violate the debarment rules by securing or participating in contracts from which they are barred. These provisions aim to enhance accountability and deter misconduct by public contractors.
