The bill amends Title 62 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, specifically addressing the causes for debarment or suspension in procurement processes. It introduces new provisions that include violations of the Wage Payment and Collection Law and misclassification of employees as independent contractors, which contravenes various state laws, including the Workers' Compensation Act, the Unemployment Compensation Law, the Tax Reform Code of 1971, and the Construction Workplace Misclassification Act.

Additionally, the bill removes the previous reference to the Workers' Compensation Act as a standalone cause for debarment or suspension, thereby consolidating the reasons under the new misclassification provision. This legislative change aims to enhance compliance and accountability in procurement practices by expanding the criteria for debarment or suspension. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
