Summary

The bill updates the Labor Code so that contractors and subcontractors on public‑works projects must keep detailed, per‑jury‑signed payroll records and make certified copies available to the public when requested through the contract‑awarding body or the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement. If the awarding body does not have the records, it must obtain them from the contractor within 10 days, and the state can withhold progress‑payment penalties of $100 per day per worker for failures. The measure aims to improve transparency of prevailing‑wage compliance while limiting costs to local agencies.
