An Act protecting honest employers by creating construction private attorney general actions

HD 330 creates a new legal mechanism allowing certain entities to sue construction employers who fail to pay wages on behalf of the Commonwealth. Specifically, "Interested Parties" (including other construction employers, labor organizations, or affected employees) can file lawsuits to recover triple the unpaid wages plus a 20% surcharge. The surcharge funds a wage enforcement program used by the Attorney General to enforce wage laws, educate workers and employers, and provide emergency loans to affected employees for housing, heat, or food. This directly targets wage non-payment in construction projects, aiming to stop unfair competition from employers who underpay workers.
