Requires audits by the comptroller in the event of arrest or conviction of contractors

This bill requires the state comptroller to conduct audits of public works projects when contractors are convicted of specific crimes related to theft, fraud, wage theft, or labor violations. It directly affects contractors, subcontractors, and affiliated companies working on state-funded projects. The law mandates that audits cover all existing public works projects started by the contractor that received state funds after a conviction or legal determination. The bill defines contractors broadly to include subcontractors and affiliated entities to ensure comprehensive oversight.
