2008 House Bill 5783 ↩

House Roll Call 410: Passed

To prohibit a vendor from bidding on state contracts if it has knowingly hired illegal aliens or if the vendor has violated the state “prevailing wage” law, which prohibits awarding contracts to contractors who submit the lowest bid unless the contractor pays so-called "prevailing wages" based on union pay scales in a particular part of a geographic region, rather than market rates. Violators could be prohibited from receiving further payments under a state contract, or required to return payments already received.
