Senate Bill 369 Summary

• Requires contractors awarded public works contracts by the state to employ Indiana residents as at least 80% of employees working on the contract, effective upon passage.

• Mandates that contractors enter into subcontracts only with subcontractors who employ Indiana residents as at least 80% of their employees working on the subcontract.

• Defines "resident of Indiana" as persons age 18+ who register a motor vehicle in Indiana, are registered to vote, have a child enrolled in an Indiana school, or derive more than half their gross income from Indiana sources.

• Allows the 80% Indiana resident requirement to become a goal rather than a requirement if federal funding would be lost due to the requirement, as determined by the federal agency providing funds.

• Requires annual reports by August 15 from the department of administration, state agencies, the ports commission, and department of transportation detailing the percentage of contractor and subcontractor employees who are Indiana residents on awarded public works contracts.
