AN ACT AUTHORIZING THE COMPTROLLER TO WITHHOLD PAYMENT FOR VIOLATIONS OF THE PREVAILING WAGE STATUTES.

Summary

The bill lets the Labor Commissioner investigate wage‑payment complaints, issue a stop‑work order for violations of prevailing‑wage statutes, and then require the state comptroller to stop paying the offending contractor or subcontractor on public projects. It covers any employer, including successor entities, that fails to pay required wages. By tying payment to compliance, the measure strengthens enforcement of wage laws.
