Contractor Verification
This site provides General Contractors the opportunity to verify the corporation status of Subcontractors in accordance with HB1795 - Employee Classification Act.

Project Labor Agreements
ABC strongly opposes union-only project labor agreements (PLAs) on construction projects. These agreements not only exclude open shop contractors from bidding on projects paid for by their own tax dollars, but also drive up the cost of construction by reducing competition for the work.
