CURRENT VERSION OF TEXT

     As amended on February 5, 2015 by the General Assembly pursuant to the Governor's recommendations.

  

An Act ¹[concerning construction work on a public utility and amending P.L.1999, c.238] requiring a review of construction work on a public utility¹.

 

     Be It Enacted by the Senate and General Assembly of the State of New Jersey:

 

     ¹[1.  Section 4 of P.L.1999, c.238 (C.34:11-56.51) is amended to read as follows:

     4.    No contractor shall bid on any contract for public work as defined in section 2 of P.L.1963, c.150 (C.34:11-56.26), or construction work on a public utility as defined in section 16 of P.L.1946, c.38 (34:13B-16), unless the contractor is registered pursuant to this act.  No contractor shall list a subcontractor in a bid proposal for the contract unless the subcontractor is registered pursuant to P.L.1999, c.238 (C.34:11-56.48 et seq.) at the time the bid is made.  No contractor or subcontractor, including a subcontractor not listed in the bid proposal, shall engage in the performance of any public work or construction work on a public utility subject to the contract, unless the contractor or subcontractor is registered pursuant to that act.

(cf: P.L.2003, c.91, s.2)]¹

 

     ¹1.  The Commissioner of Labor and Workforce Development shall undertake a review of construction work on a public utility as defined in section 16 of P.L.1946, c.38 (C.34:13B-16) and shall report any findings and recommendations directly to the Governor no later than twelve months from the date of enactment of this act.  Specifically, the commissioner shall examine whether the current statutory framework concerning construction work on a public utility enables the commissioner sufficiently to enforce compliance with the laws governing that work.¹

 

     2.    This act shall take effect immediately.
