Concerns enforcement of public work project requirements; establishes penalties for failure to submit payroll records.

This bill strengthens enforcement of payroll and registration rules for public works contractors in New Jersey. It establishes higher administrative penalties - up to $25,000 per violation - for failing to submit required payroll records, underpaying workers, or falsifying documents. Each underpaid worker and each week of noncompliance counts as a separate violation, with penalties calculated based on factors like prior violations and business size. Contractors must be notified of alleged violations and given a 15-day hearing opportunity before fines are imposed.
