H.327 is a proposed bill that mandates corporations regulated by the Public Utility Commission (PUC) to adhere to specific labor requirements when constructing energy facilities. Effective from July 1, 2025, any corporation that constructs an energy generation facility after this date must submit a certified copy of the construction contract, including a line-item budget, to the PUC within 60 days of project completion. Additionally, the corporation must provide an attestation confirming that union labor was utilized, and that workers were compensated at least at the prevailing wage set by the Vermont Department of Labor, along with a fringe benefit of 42.5% of the wage. If union labor is unavailable, the project can still proceed with non-union workers, provided they are paid at least the mean prevailing wage plus the same fringe benefits.

The bill also defines "fringe benefits" to include various employment-related benefits such as paid vacations, sick leave, and contributions to health insurance and retirement plans. Furthermore, the PUC is required to make the submitted documents available for public review, ensuring that any personally identifiable information is redacted. This legislation aims to promote fair labor practices and ensure transparency in the construction of energy facilities in Vermont.
