This bill died with 2009-2010 Regular Session. It reached “To Executive” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.
This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.
Summary
Existing law generally requires the payment of the general prevailing rate of per diem wages to workers employed on public works projects. Under existing law, whenever a contractor or subcontractor performing a public works project is found by the Labor Commissioner to be either in violation of certain provisions of law, with intent to defraud, or in willful violation of those provisions of law, the contractor or subcontractor or a firm, corporation, partnership, or association in which the contractor or subcontractor has a substantial interest is ineligible to bid on or to receive a public works contract for specified periods of time. This bill would provide that a contractor or subcontractor performing a public works project who is found by the Labor Commissioner to be in violation of the public works law, with intent to defraud, for the first time, is ineligible to bid on or be awarded a contract for a public works project for specified periods of time, with a prescribed exception related to apprenticeship requirements, but would provide that for a 2nd violation of the public works law, with intent to defraud, the contractor or subcontractor shall be ineligible to bid on or be awarded a public works contract.
