An Act amending Title 15 (Corporations and Unincorporated Associations) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in general provisions relating to business corporations, providing for eligibility for receipt of State resources.
HB 405 would require businesses with 200+ Pennsylvania employees to meet specific standards to receive state contracts, funding, or grants. Corporations would be ineligible if they violated federal labor laws (within 5 years), committed unfair labor practices (within 5 years), broke Pennsylvania's prevailing wage law (within 5 years), or failed to submit bylaws ensuring at least 20% of their governing board consists of employee-elected members. The bill applies only to new or renewed state contracts, funding, or grants approved after its effective date (60 days after enactment). This directly affects large corporations seeking state business by linking eligibility to labor compliance and employee representation requirements.
