Allows certain third parties to bring suit against public works project bidders that violate certain laws.

Summary

The bill lets a bidder who was not awarded a public‑works contract – but who submitted the lowest losing bid (or the highest‑ranked bid when other factors are used) – bring a lawsuit against the contractor who won the contract if that contractor violates the New Jersey Prevailing Wage Act or fails to pay required taxes, assessments or benefits. The suit can also be filed by a third party on the bidder’s behalf. The measure aims to give bidders a way to recover damages and to encourage compliance with wage and tax laws.
