Bill H.327, introduced by Representative Logan of Burlington, aims to establish labor requirements for corporations regulated by the Public Utility Commission that contract to construct energy facilities. The bill mandates that these corporations submit a certified copy of the construction contract, including a line-item budget, and an attestation confirming that union labor was utilized and that the prevailing wage was paid. This requirement applies to energy generation facilities constructed after January 1, 2025, with specific provisions for contracts exceeding $100,000. If unionized labor is unavailable, the bill allows for the use of non-union labor, provided they are compensated at or above the mean prevailing wage.

Additionally, the bill defines "fringe benefits" to include various employment-related benefits such as paid vacations, sick leave, and contributions to health insurance and retirement plans. The Public Utility Commission is tasked with making the submitted documents available for public review, ensuring that any personally identifiable information is redacted. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
