Bill H.337 proposes to enhance the transparency of the enforcement actions taken by the Commissioner of Labor in Vermont regarding violations of wage and hour laws, prevailing wage, and child labor regulations. The bill amends Section 21 V.S.A. 4 by adding new responsibilities for the Commissioner or their agent, which include conducting examinations and investigations to ensure compliance with employment laws. Additionally, the bill mandates that the Commissioner publish information about enforcement actions taken by the Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Program. This information must be made available in a searchable format on a publicly accessible website, while ensuring the anonymity of complainants and excluding data older than six years.

The bill also specifies that these provisions will take effect on July 1, 2025. This legislative change aims to promote accountability among employers and provide the public with access to important information regarding labor law enforcement in Vermont.
