An Act providing for the registration of labor brokers; imposing duties on the Department of Labor and Industry and the Secretary of Labor and Industry; establishing the Labor Broker Registration Account; and imposing penalties.
SB 602 requires labor brokers in Pennsylvania to register with the Department of Labor and Industry before supplying construction workers to employers. It directly affects entities that recruit and place workers for construction projects, excluding certain subcontractors who meet specific criteria. The bill establishes a public verification system on the department’s website showing registered brokers’ details, mandates registration numbers in contracts and ads, and imposes penalties for operating without registration. Key provisions include application requirements, annual fees, and enforcement mechanisms like fines or suspension for violations. The law aims to increase transparency and accountability in the labor brokerage industry.
