This bill amends Title 62 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, specifically addressing the causes for debarment or suspension in procurement processes. A new provision is added to Section 531(b), which now includes a specific cause for debarment or suspension related to violations of the Wage Payment and Collection Law, enacted on July 14, 1961. This addition aims to strengthen compliance with wage payment regulations within the procurement framework.

The bill will take effect 60 days after its enactment, reinforcing the importance of adhering to wage laws for entities involved in state contracts. By including this violation as a cause for debarment or suspension, the legislation seeks to promote fair labor practices and ensure that contractors meet their obligations to employees.
