 S.F. 36
1 Section 1. Section 91C.1, subsection 1, Code 2023, is
2 amended to read as follows:
3 1. As used in this chapter, unless the context otherwise
4 requires, “contractor” means a person who engages in the
5 business of construction, as the term “construction” is defined
6 in the Iowa administrative code for purposes of the Iowa
7 employment security law. However, a person who earns less than
8 two thousand dollars annually or who performs work or has work
9 performed on the person’s own property is not a contractor for
10 purposes of this chapter. “Contractor” includes a labor broker
11 or recruiter who brings one or more workers to a construction
12 job site in this state. The state, its boards, commissions,
13 agencies, departments, and its political subdivisions including
14 school districts and other special purpose districts, are not
15 contractors for purposes of this chapter.
16 EXPLANATION
17 The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with
18 the explanation’s substance by the members of the general assembly.
19 This bill provides that a contractor, for purposes of
20 Code chapter 91C relating to registration of construction
21 contractors, includes a labor broker or recruiter who brings
22 one or more workers to a construction job site in Iowa.
23 Code chapter 91C provides for administrative penalties of
24 not more than $500 in the case of a first violation and not more
25 than $5,000 for each subsequent violation.
