The bill amends Chapter 28-5 of the General Laws, titled "Fair Employment Practices," by adding a new section, 28-5-44, which addresses labor and payment of debts by contractors involved in capital improvements to healthcare facilities. It mandates that any contract for capital improvements, including construction, reconstruction, renovation, demolition, and alteration, must adhere to the requirements and obligations outlined in Chapter 13 of Title 37. This includes a stipulation that all relevant contractors and subcontractors performing work on the healthcare facility are required to pay their employees as defined in 37-13-7. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
