S.F. No. 3212 Summary

• Modifies Minnesota's responsible contractor requirement for construction contracts exceeding $50,000 by changing wage violation thresholds from "any violation" to violations involving total underpayments of $50,000 or more on a single project within a three-year period.

• Eliminates the requirement that contractors have zero wage violations, instead allowing contractors with violations to qualify if they meet specific underpayment thresholds and only if violations result from deliberate and intentional disregard of law after all appeals are exhausted.

• Clarifies that contractors must list subcontractors bidding over $10,000 in verification documents and requires annual verification of motor carriers rather than per-project verification.

• Applies to subcontractors and motor carriers on projects with work valued over $10,000, regardless of total project value.

• Maintains effective date of January 1, 2015, for all construction contracts based on solicitation documents issued on or after that date.
